It still feels weird that I now have limited holidays. When I was teaching in school there was just mandatory term-time and when I was my own boss I just took time off whenever I pleased. I had to use up 4 days of holiday so decided to spend time with my family in Norfolk since I had not visited for 5 months.
I don’t know why I bothered to take 2 laptops to Norfolk, thinking I might have time to review the Art & Stitch software retreat that I am teaching in a couple of weeks. I have said before that time flows differently in Norfolk - nothing actually happens but time passes weirdly fast.
Nessie went for a haircut at a new pet salon around the corner from my sister. The groomer did a great job but it took 4 hours because she is not a very co-operative Scottie when hairbrushes are brandished.
I spent a busy Saturday in Norwich with Nella, supposedly to buy birthday presents for Freya. Despite seeing lots of nice things, most of which I wanted for myself, I did not complete my mission.
We did at least have some very nice coffee and snacks in the city and I was very happy to sit on a bench with Paddington Bear near the cathedral. It was nice to have some time off my DIY but I have to get back to work and finalise my plans for the retreat in April.
