Catch up................

Have had supremely lazy day today.....slept late in an attempt to bring my energy account back into marginal credit after the demands of the workshop on Sunday and another busy day yesterday.

Am now looking forward to a spot of camping over the Easter weekend, although the weather forecast is fairly bleak. We are meeting up with our camping chums at a very pretty little campsite just along the coast, which is on a working farm, so there should be lots of sweet little lambs, plus assorted piglets, kids (of the goat variety), guinea pigs, geese, ducks, peacocks, and ponies to 'oohh' and 'aahhh' over.

It's small dog's most favourite campsite, as there is a lovely circular walk around lakes and ponds, plus various animal enclosures where she can fully implement her stop and sniff policy without let or hindrance.

A weekend of rest and relaxation is just what the doctor ordered, after a very stressful few months and I'm looking forward to it immensely. All the more so as on our return I have to buckle down and do the end of year accounts. An onerous task which I loath and detest, and which will take several days.

Every year I solemnly swear that I will keep the accounts up to date on a rolling monthly basis. This pledge usually lasts through April and May then falls by the wayside till the end of the tax year comes round again.

No matter.

I refuse to think about it till we get back after our short break, by which time I will be relaxed and mellow and raring to go.

Ahem.
