Lucky White Heather

For those of you who asked about lucky white heather, the story is here.

And less prosaic here.

For those of you who have said that I might get bored being at home for the next 4 weeks, all I can say is "Not a Chance!".

I get a lot of holidays (6 weeks and 10.5 days public holidays) but when you have been working full-time for almost 20 years, the chance to kick back and just relax is worth more than gold to me.

I will get the time to keep up with everyone's blogs and comment, even more than usual.

I can sleep in and catch up on my sleep deficit accrued over the last few months.

My garden is ready and waiting for some quality time and May is the month when if I do not get it in order, all will be lost. The growing capacity in May always amazes me and if I do not get that mulch down, perennials split and weeding up to date, there will be no stopping it.

Even just the simple domestic pleasures of hanging out my washing on the line in the sunshine delight me. Then running out to bring it in as the rain comes on too!

Of course, the biggie will be getting ready for the kitchen installation. No, it has not happened yet and the delivery does not arrive until May 24th so plenty of time to clean out cupboards and pack up dishes and stuff. I also still have to order the new dishwasher and washer dryer and pick out floor and wall tiles.

You see, apart from obsessing about the donor egg cycle, I have loads of things to do. As well as keeping up with my TV watching and the new series of Lost and reading books and my long-neglected cross-stitch. I also have a 40th birthday party this weekend and a trip to the big city to see another of my musical heroes.

No way will I be bored!!!
