Monday, Monday..it's good to see...

I have woken up to the sound of the fog horn in the bay. Before even opening the bedroom curtains I know we will be enveloped in a cloak of sea mist. They call it Manannan’s Cloak – a mystical mist that surrounds the island from time to time and prevents the English crown from taking it back. It is especially annoying when I hear the Beeb telling me how sunny it is in England…..

Two weeks today I will be preparing myself mentally for the flight to London and my first jab but today I am more concerned with the job at hand and that’s digging through cupboards to find my summer gear….not something I’ve needed to do here so far this year. We are going to the Canary Islands on Thursday morning for a week of R & R courtesy of our dear friends Angela and David. The timing couldn’t be more perfect as it will hopefully divert my attention….

It’s a busy 3 day week of doing girly girl stuff...nails, hair, wax and tan spray (I’m the only person I know who comes back from a sunny holiday looking paler than when they went..) and I’m going to enjoy every minute of it.
