Bit groggy today. It's odd to have travelled across the world to arrive in a place that is so familiar now. Although still not TOO familiar, as I've only slept here 3 nights. The children went off to school without too much directing from me, and Spook came back for a coffee mid-morning. I was attending my still green tomatoes when 2 more Downhillers arrived. Ben Cathro and Gary Forrest. Ben I recognized by his height, having only seen him before in very shiny lycra and a full-face helmet. They were picking up some unimportant papers (Ben's passport!) and stayed for a cup of tea.
When I went out to do some shopping, I thought the hills looked different and realized they have changed colour. They are yellow ochre now, rather than green. Last nights rain, must have been about the first since I l eft, 3 weeks ago.
Mary e-mailed looking for some cleaning support, so will be back onto that tomorrow. Will open a jet boat account, accordingly.
Tried to do some housework and cook a tasty meal to remind them how much they've missed me, but ended up falling out with Meg over homework, giving Finn a lecture on letting people know where he is and reliability, and showing Spook where the diary was with the information that I had asked him for (and really needed) when I was in Scotland, and that he couldn't find anywhere. It was on the mantlepiece of our small home. Now they wish I was still suspended in the skies.
A good nights sleep will help us all.
