February 18th 2013
\nMy Mac tells me it is 22.39<\/p>\n

The house is warm and quiet except for the sound of my clock ticking and my Mac whirring.
\nBen is in bed watching something on the iPlayer but he has his headphones on so as not to disturb me. I have just called in to say goodnight.
\nPaul is in his hotel in Dorset, the first of four nights away this week.
\nPepsi is behind me on her princess bed, she hasn\u2019t moved all<\/em> day. I think she is hiding, just in case I am thinking of sending her to the kennels again.
\nI want to take a moment to reflect on today and the weekend. <\/p>\n

Today was the first day of a new phase in my life and my head has been buzzing, full of ideas and plans and hopes and dreams. Of course I enjoyed my day but it felt as though I was hovering, not knowing where I should be or what I should do.
\nBen helped “Just chill mum” Paul helped “Just rest darling, cuddle Pepsi all day long if that makes you happy”<\/p>\n

This morning I was able to help Paul with something instead of apologising that I couldn\u2019t and running out to work. It felt good.
\nI was able to help him later in the day; he needed something from his computer at home. It felt good.
\nI had me time, I chilled a bit and rested a bit but obviously not enough because and I am tired now but not stressed. And that feels very good.<\/p>\n

Time to think about the weekend before I call it a day.
\nWe had a wonderful time, I was thoroughly spoilt.
\nThe hotel was beautiful, comfortable and luxurious. It was built in 1817 and has just had a major re-furbishment in the boutique style. The staff perfectly attentive; and the food just fabulous and as pretty as a picture.
\nWe walked in the grounds: the snowdrops glistened in the sun beneath the huge, ancient trees looking wonderful without their leaves.
\nThe weather was perfect, low lying mist in the morning giving promise of a bright day. It was cold but the skies were blue and the sun shone for us. In the evenings we had clear and still starlit skies. The plough was so close it felt as though if you stretched enough you just might touch one of her stars.
\nWe had time to walk; I had time to photograph some landscapes.
\nWe had afternoon tea by the fire in the library.
\nBen joined us for late night drinks by a huge open fire on Saturday evening and a birthday breakfast on Sunday morning. We were thrilled that he was part of our celebration.
\nWe had a simply perfect weekend.<\/p>\n
