Wednesday 30^th April

SHE SAID:

It was a quiet day at the house, we had no plans other than minor sorting out, packing etc. I have been told to take it easy for 24 hours, so I am.

The owners have told us they will be back 2 days early, so on Tuesday 6th, not Thursday 8th! Thankfully not a week early like the house owners last year!

We make our plans around their return dates, so when they change their minds it stuffs us up. One of the downfalls of house sitting, I guess!

I had a ½ hour chat with Molly in NZ, she seems to be doing OK.

Yesterday's sunset on the return trip,
I missed the fiery finish as it was on the wrong side of the car for me!

HE SAID:

I am trying to be Varena’s nurse today, as she is sensibly taking it easy on doctor’s orders. We had planned a quiet day so there was not much for me to do other than making meals, which had been organised to be simple for me.

The news of the house owners’ return was a bit of a pain, though also sort of expected. After four months away, unless there is something pressing for them to do on their way home, the temptation to just do the dart back must be quite tempting. It just means that we have to accelerate our plans a bit.
