- It's the first of my 48 days of summer holiday.
- Bobby took a day's leave too, so we had the whole day together.
- We went to Ikea in the morning(kitchen shelves).
- And we had scones and cream at the seaside in the afternoon.
- Bobby bought himself a new model plane. Not that I like model planes; I don't. But I like the fact that it gave him pleasure.
- And I went for a really nice 5 mile run this evening. (I have come up with a route that seems to be far more downhill than uphill; it's fabulous.)
The only downside:
The girls are both away till Friday. It's the end-of-term Year 7 camp, and some of the Year 11 prefects have gone too, to help out. I'm sure they're having a wonderful time, but I am missing them. And also I am having to curb my neuroticism; they aren't allowed to bring phones with them, so I haven't heard from them, and have to keep quelling ridiculous nightmare scenarios which I know are completely improbable but which, at some level, worry me anyway. I comfort myself with the fact that at least my craziness is low-level; I don't let it interfere with any of our lives...

Your day sounds great and I agree with you; if hubby's happy so are we. I do know how you feel about the girls being away, Nick was on camp last week and I had a case of the "what if's".
My daughter went on her first away camping trip this summer, too.
It was strange. She came back whole, happy and bubbling with stories :)
