First Day Off in 7 years

Today was the first day all 3 headed off to their respective places of education....and my FIRST DAY OFF IN 7 YEARS!!!!! 

Turning around to the back seat of my car presented me with a view that filled my heart with joy! 3 empty seats! (Don't get me wrong - I LURVE my babies, but I SO needed some time to myself)

After leisurely strolling the shops, I popped down to Adan's office to annoy him and the delightful and very gorgeous Sasha and have myself some coffee and a bit of a swan around on the furniture.....this was followed with a Celebratory Lunch, which I invited Adan to (well, someone HAD to pay!) at Gips, where we dined on caramalised onion, and goats cheese on crostini, warmed Wenland Olives, barramundi fillets and chips for Adan and a SENSATIONAL pumpkin soup, with walnuts,gruyere cheese and apple slices....AND a very indulgent glass of Marlborough Sauv Blanc. Oh goodness, how grown up it all sounds!!!!  Back to the office for another coffee and a lie down whilst watching Oprah...then it was time to go and turn back into a pumpkin and start the school run (sound like a bus driver dont' I?)

So, that was my Day Off. VERY enjoyable and a bit tiring I have to say!! That certainly won't be how I spend every Tuesday and Thursday (I wish....) so I pretty much went all out to make my first one a bit spesh. Having said that, I have pencilled in a movie on Thursday with Sarah (Sarah - are you still with me on that????)  Back to sweeping the cinders tomorrow.....
