P. and I were in bed early, as he had "a gut feeling" that he needed to be on the 7.05 ferry. I would as soon trust trial by ordeal, but the weekend was particularly bad for travel on the system and I'm not the one having to deal with Boaty and the airport, so into bed

Mmmm, pain au chocolat. *holds out plate*

[epiphyta]

It's so good! Baked on-island this morning. *piles plate high*

Your day has officially exhausted me.
I always say I am never up before 8 AM unless I have an early appointment or a flight to catch.
I also run on caffeine for a good while in the morning.

Doing...hmmm...preparing for a weekend away this week. We have an anniversary celebration for friends at mutual friend's home and a cooking day with said mutual friends on Saturday (we each prepare a dish while we're there) and then an art walk on Sunday. All at our mountaintop friend's home.
:)
But that requires that I do a lot here at home this week before we leave on Friday.

Last night before bed, we agreed that it was February of 2020 that we last spent a night apart. Which means he has been here working and I haven't been able to do any of the heavy noisy cleaning (moving furniture, unloading the bookcases). Progress has now been made!

Your time away sounds wonderful, and is certainly deserved. What are you cooking?

[pondhopper]

It's a dish with zucchini and chard with chorizo.
Lots of herbs and such as well. Kind of a pain to make as it requires some fancy chopping and it goes in stages. But good!

It sounds amazing!

Sounds like a very busy time! I worry when I have to travel and don’t sleep well - I hate it as I’m always tired when I do get to the airport/train station etc!

I got a look at myself on the Zoom call last night and aaaaaaargh. Slept until nearly 8 this morning and am feeling much more the thing; I do hope that P. went to sleep after we said good-night, as he had to be in the office at 8 and his body will be thinking it's 7!

Ugh, early mornings where you have to be out of the house and on the go are the worst. I'm glad P caught his flight, though.

When we finally get rain after a long dry spell, I always have to open the windows, too. It's such a wonderful smell!

[epiphyta]

P. has always said he was insufficiently ambitious to take a job that would require a great deal of travel: he likes sleeping in with me far more. Which is flattering. *g*

The last significant stretch of rain here was in June; I am so glad to have typical PNW weather back! This morning I am wrapped up in P.'s flannel bathrobe with a pot of tea. It's awfully quiet, not having someone in the other room chatting through meetings.

Glad he made his flight ok. I'm not sure a warm pain au chocolat quite makes up for the early start - but it would help :)

After all that housework you deserve a lie down and a lazy day to come.

[epiphyta]

It helped quite a bit! :D So did a full night's sleep.

Today I took myself out for a good long drive in the Mini, got caught in three downpours, and was duly horrified to see the Christmas things out at Costco. Not even the good stuff, like the vanilla beans and the big bottles of lemon and almond extract! Tonight after yoga I certainly mean to have another early night, with drinking chocolate spiked with rum and a piece of shortbread.
