The lovely Mr. B. sprang out of bed this morning
shouting "Last Day!"
shouting "Last Day!"
Anyone who works in a school will be familiar with that
spine-tingling excitement
spine-tingling excitement
conjured up by the last day of term
.... I'm thinking of staff here
not children!
The joy is perfectly captured here : School's Out!
This ad had me laughing out loud!
This ad had me laughing out loud!
There are few sweeter moments in life than the final hometime of the school year ....
with the whole delicious six weeks holiday stretching far ahead of you.
I am feeling very strange, because I haven't got that feeling today-
having been away from school for the last eight weeks!
but I'm so looking forward to having Mr. B. home with me for a while.
I've spent some long, lonely days here recently.
Tomorrow, we're heading up to the Lake District,
grabbing the four precious days out of the six weeks that we can enjoy away together
before the radiotherapy onslaught begins next week.
As I write this the rain is hammering down yet again ... so we've got our fingers crossed for some sunshine.
Actually, we don't care what the weather is like, we just need a change of scene,
away from our "world turned up-side down" unsettled life at the moment.
By the way, for those of you who have kindly asked .......
This is going to be a scarf -
nice and easy for someone who hasn't done any knitting for about 15 years!
Intrigued by this strange and rare activity, my lovely boy has requested I knit him a jumper next -
he's 6 feet tall and has long, long arms ....
I think it would take me another 15 years!
I hope you have a wonderful 4 days in the lake district and have lots of lovely memories to think about when your radiotherapy starts. The knitting is gorgeous, I am impressed with it after 15 years away-they do say it's like riding a bike though!

ReplyDeleteI do so hope you have good weather - we've been to the Lakes lots since my in-laws live there and have had some lovely summers, but as you say it's the change of scenery that's important - hope you feel as if four days is much, much longer! xx
