Work this week has been like a shadow I can’t shake off.  Every time I turn around it’s there.  Watching me, taunting me.  Daring me to twist and turn to see if I can shake it off.  Despite my best efforts I still haven’t cleared the decks this week with a seasonal rush of proposals and plans for 2011 whilst juggling the end of year rush to fit everyone in before the holidays.  For all the pain and pressure there is now I’m focusing on the long holidays coming up.  Pure bliss of not worrying about work.  I’m sure there’ll be other worries to keep me occupied but for now all I can see is weeks of an empty work diary and that’s such a wonderful thought.

In the meantime there is still plenty more to be done.  I’ll be heading into domestic overdrive soon as my in-laws are coming to stay.  That’s about 2 weeks to clear the spare room of the layers of washing and ironing that seemed to have accumulated since they were last here.  Still, when it’s all done I can reeeelax and that’s a wonderful thought.

That and the fact that forecasters are predicting the longest, dryest and warmest summer for decades.  Bring it on.
