Fridays Frustrations

So I am missing the Husband. Quite a lot as it goes. Yes I gave him The I will miss you speech but I wasn't 100% sure I actually would. I had this lovely idea of lazy days with the kids eating lots of pasta and doing very little followed by a whole night diagonal across the bed. Reality is I do miss him an awful lot. I have no one to play with. No one to make me giggle. OK the kids play and make me laugh but its just not the same. G shares my twisted humour. Actually scratch that he knocks my twisted humour into a cocked hat!

I was up and tackling the garden at 9am. This consisted of moving all the fallen palm branches into a pile. Palm trees are a pita. I have grown to hate them. They shed entire branches that do not break easily. I also picked up fallen leaves and cut back a green thing that was encroaching onto the path. I pulled a few things that "may" have been weeds up. Its hard to do such things with just a pair of gardening gloves some kitchen scissors and a sweeping brush. Me thinks perhaps I need equipment. Ugh I don't want to be a gardener. Luckily my AWOL gardeners called they will be here on Tuesday. They forgot about me. I hope I get a discount after tackling it myself!

I have also been hasty. We still need a sofa. The one we did want will take 8 weeks from payment to arrive. Too long. So I found another shop and it has a very trendy 2 and 3 seater combo at a good IE we can afford it price. It is very nice to look at but I have a feeling its uncomfortable. Anyhow I also had a look on eBay. Ohhh I found my dream sofa. A corner suite only 1 year old and in a lovely plum colour too. Oh and it turns into a queen bed. It was lust at first sight. I have bidded on it. With no idea how I will get it if I win. Luckily It is after checking in the same state as me and in driving distance. I fear If I win I may have to grovel to the in laws.

In between all my activity this morning we sat on the deck for a bit. 10 whole minutes. Its too bloody hot. Or maybe its the humidity but I felt my insides cooking and have retreated back to my lovely air con side seat. I may just sit here till my husband returns.
