Back from Holidays

Ah, I had a lovely time in France.  It was very very quiet.  We did nothing much more than make and eat lunch and dinner.  A tiny bit of shopping for lunch and dinner and a tiny bit of paddling in the river.  Really.  That was about it. The boys played.  We cooked, ate and cleared up afterwards.  I also drank lots of wine.  Hence am returned and am going dry for - as long as I can.  I do like to have a glass of wine on holiday.  There is something about drinking at lunch time which is only allowed on holiday.  And so I did.  And the evening too.  Good french cheese deserves good french wine.  And while good company does not need wine, its still bloody nice to drink it, outside, listening to the rush of water over the weir. 

And so back to Brighton, to reality and to tidying up and being healthy!

My office seems like some kind of tip.  I was sure i had left it tidy, but never the less it feels piled up with post that has arrived, and the stuff that needs sorting feels  - it feels like a lot.  It also comes with the school holidays and not having so much time to sit and do all the admin stuff.  I have horrible amounts of receipts and accounting type stuff to process.  Or at least it feels like that.  I will undoubtedly take me much less time than I fear.  But still.  Currently it lurks.

I have a yoga class to teach tomorrow morning (must prepare for that.....) and a hen do to go to as of 5.30pm tomorrow.  Kareoke followed by a meal.  And Sunday is a day trip to a park with a school friend of Bub and his family. 

Monday I get to do stuff (getting my ducks in a row mostly) and Tuesday am back to work.  Wednesday and Thursday means days in London.  Friday admin and phone calls.  And the wedding for that hen do.  Hub says he is coming.  Guess it will be a family outing.  Blimey.  What to wear!???  ah another thing to think about. 

Its still not the end of the summer holidays after next weekend.  I am thinking of taking Bub on a trip to visit friends who moved to Bristol, and who live on a boat. Should be fun. 

The whole 29 gifts thing fell right by the wayside. Though I do think of giving and receiving more because of it.  And I read a marvellous book about Living Your Yoga while on holiday.  OH OH AND i sat and thought.  and got creative.  and thought about art and themes and creativity and my art.  I am very excited by two ideas in particular.  One is about starlings and the other is about a paper theatre. 

Today I went to a lovely class about marketing for creatives.  or maybe it was creative marketing.  but mainly I had a chat with people about paper theatres and puppets.  Which is some sort of recurring theme for me at the moment. 

actually  a lot happened today.  too much to go into here.  but art and money was at the heart of it all.
