They're gone

[mrsbrown]

My children have gone. They are off touring the world* for the next 5 weeks, and MrPeacock won't be back until just before christmas. I took them to the airport and managed to avoid becoming a blubbering mess, although I could have if I'd let myself. I just developed a small leak as I hugged MrPeacock. And I'm only leaking a little bit right now as I write about it.

It's going to be very quiet around here. I wonder if I need to bother having a mobile phone, 'cos they're the ones who mostly ring me?

OTOH, this is such an opportunity. Major furniture reorganisation is planned, and, if we can find the money, a certain amount of renovation of the Family Room while it's empty of furniture.

Of course, we're also heading to Christchurch during the 5 weeks MsNotaGoth and Sneetch are away. Also sewing for Coronation and bridesmaidery, AND attending a couple of SCA events. Never mind the supervision of reasonably active toddler.

We'll see how far we get. Maybe they'll come home to a housing disaster.

btw. Rose is still here, she's not "my children", she's my baby.

*Hong Kong, UK, Greece, Italy, France, Holland, Germany. MrPeacock has a work visa for Germany so I expect he'll be there for the rest of the year.

You know how rare these are.
