Not long now

It's only three more 'sleeps' ( I use the word 'sleep' very loosely in this context)now until we escape for a few days to may parents for a break and a long awaited visit....and I can't wait!

We haven't managed to get to London since last August and it's beginning to feel like forever, the fact that we are going at all was in the lap of the God's for a time, courtesy of out court system, but at last it is looking like it will actually happen. Famous last words perhaps, for it would appear that my long wished for snow might typically fall in abundance on Saturday night, we travel early on Sunday morning and sod's law would dictate that this will be the one occasion that the met. office get it right!

I'm begining to really feel like I need to escape for a few days, my holiday thus far, whilst it has been preferable to going to work, has been kind of odd, and with PG on nights, aside from the postman and himself asleep, I don't think I have seen another soul for over a week. In fact, I don't recall even going outside the flat further than my car, for a whole week!...... and I'm actually looking forward to the normally dreaded visit to the hair salon this afternoon, hair salons have people in them right?

I have spent almost 24/7 with my rear end parked right here for the entire week trying to catch up on the design business debacle, I have had precious little sleep, in part because once I 'get on a roll' I loose track of time and don't go to bed until the wee small hours but also, in large part, because Tilly insists on waking me each morning at around 5.30...... and then makes absolutely sure I can't get back to sleep as the result of her antics. Don't tell me to 'exclude' her, it doesn't work, she merley howls like a banshee as a sleep prevention method instead

So, enough is enough, I need to escape this life of hermit and html if only for a few days, go have some fun, spend time with my parents, indulge in a little retail therapy (yes, cities have shops unlike fields) and sleep, sleep, sleep. Tilly will be ensconced in a cattery with Ditto , her first time and I'm kinda feeling like a mother sending her child off to school on the first day, but the upside will be that for the first time in six months I can sleep, wonderful, uninterrupted, un- nose chewed, un-hair pulled, un-trampled under paw SLEEP!
