The Lost Art of Keeping Secrets

As it was a very wet bank holiday (well, there's a surprise!) in the moments when I wasn't entertaining Sunshine with all sorts of stuff and doing general 'home' stuff, I managed to finish my book! I did enjoy it, it was a lovely light read although it did seem to take a bit of a while to get going...and then it was all over! But that could mainly be down to me only being able to read in short chunks for the beginning of the story! I'm not very good at doing reviews...but the synopsis is here...

I would probably read it again, and may even try another title by the author...but not just yet! I have a pile of books I borrowed from my Mum to tackle!

Off to the Office

I'm off to the office in Altrincham today, my first trip since I changed my role from project analyst to support analyst. I'm off to a training course and I am quite looking forward to a few days without toddler duties! I don't think Peter is looking forward to it though given that Sunshine has been testing the boundaries for the last couple of weeks....still he did go to Portugal a couple of weekends ago so it is my turn!!

I've decided that although 0430 is a silly time to get up (although Sunshine has had us up this early all weekend!), arriving at Heathrow at 0540 for a 0700 flight is not a bad idea...especially as I checked in yesterday! No check-in queues...no bag drop for me today and only a little queue for security...the only pain being that I had to remove my boots, unload my laptop,take out my toiletries, take off my belt and jacket and empty my pockets! Still that is all par for the course these days!! Bag drop does have a few advantages after all.... Despite there being loads of signs, there is always one person who waits until they get right up to the check-point before they decide to undo their lace up boots! But, this is good for me, I wasn't the one tutting!!!

So now I am settled with a cup of Costly Coffee and updating my blog... oh and checking my (work) emails - well I may and try and use my time constructively!

What's been happening...

It's a good job I don't make resolutions at New Year because I am sure I would have failed at keeping any of them! Unless of course it was to spend money...that is probably the only one I would managed to keep!

What's been happening? Well, I managed to change my job at work so that I can spend more time at home and not be jetting off around the world....well at least not as much as I have been recently. This has had a knock-on effect on my reading...I managed to borrow some books from my Mum when Sunshine and I went up at Easter and since then I have only managed to read a few chapters of 'The Lost Art of Keeping Secrets'...

Sunshine seems to have gone into overdrive and has boundless energy for running,climbing and tantrums which keeps us on our toes and on the go from getting up until going to bed! But we wouldn't have it any other way!

When Sunshine and I went to my Mum's at the weekend, Sunshine got worried every time I was out of sight or went to the car....I think she thought she was going to be left behind...Well after all my trips away and Peter not being about I suppose it's hardly surprising! I'd like to say that I recharged my batteries when we went to Norfolk...but no such luck!
