Awake, at last!

mumsisdaughterTwo weeks into the summer break and I have hit that wonderfully relaxing stage when I'm not even sure what day it is (I only know the time because it's there in the corner of the screen).
Gorgeous blue-sky day! The conservatory door is open to connect me to the atmosphere outside--I wish I could take my pc outside. My laptop never survives very long on its batteries, otherwise I'd take that outside (at last it's been added to the wireless network).
!! A strange cat, black and fluffy, has just wandered in to see what I'm doing. I said, "Yes?" very quietly, it stared at me then wandered back out! I tell you, I am so going to enjoy retirement when it comes, if this is the kind of thing that happens. (Small things amuse...)
I settled to Gavin's accounts yesterday. It meant some tidying and furniture shifting first in order to get to my 'dining' table but I did it. Then dusted and beeswaxed it to give me a lovely surface to work on and now it's covered with neat, date-ordered stacks of paper, sorted by type...advertising, car expenses, wholesalers' invoices, bank statements etc. Today's job is to check each bit against the entries in his book, then tomorrow, I'll settle to the maths part. He should be able to take everything to the accountant on Tuesday, along with Jenn's student loan application and a grovelling letter of apology for lateness from me!
That way when Jenn comes home on Thursday, I can with a clear conscience tell her it's all been done and we can go on holiday on Saturday with everything sorted.

My pet is a cuddly, brown, smooth-coated guinea pig, called Angel, that is about six years old. I love the noises she makes!
