Youngest left yesterday for his ten day visit, with his Scout Troop, to the Czech Republic and he was super excited.  I, on the other hand, was not! I am really missing him and so is his Dad and his brother (but he will deny it if you ask him!!!!)  Of course the person missing him the most is Treacle as she sleeps in his room at night and of course he wasn’t there.  Her basket was moved into Eldest’s room but it is just not the same.  Also Eldest will be leaving at the end of the week to go on holiday with Girlfriend and her family to Menorca, so DH and I will have no children at home!!!!

This has never happened to us, we have always had one or other of the Boys at home so I think DH and I will be lost!

On Saturday DH and I went to dinner at the Boys Godparents home and it was for my Birthday, which although was June this was the first weekend we were all available.  It was a lovely evening and I really had a great time and the food, as always, was wonderful. 

Work is busy too and DH has been out and about early in the morning.  After packing Youngest up over the weekend for his trip and then spending yesterday morning sorting the last little details out, they didn’t leave until 3.30pm and I was exhausted so I had a lazy morning this morning.  I managed to get all my work done and am now planning to get some quilting things sorted this evening.  Whilst both Boys are away I am determined to try and get three of the quilt tops I have finished quilted.  Well that’s the plan anyway!!!!

Have still got quite a few extra house jobs to do and the garden needs another tidy but the weather here has been so hot that it is too warm to be in the garden and unless I get the extra jobs done first thing in the morning whilst it is cool, by midday it is far too hot!

As the weather has been so good I have been getting the extra washing done and dried outside and one of the jobs was Treacle’s beds.  However she was so miserable without her bed in her basket downstairs so I had to get it off the line and put it in her basket without the cover!!!!!  As you can see she was really happy!!!!

I hope you are having a happy Tuesday.
