Daring to dream...

After such a gorgeous and enjoyable long weekend, I really didn't mind going back to work today, probably because it was a half day!

As it's still Easter hols the phones and office were quiet and I caught up on a few admin bits without really having to think very much. Hurrah!

When I left, I indulged myself by dreaming of a hot tub cum mini swim pool for my new garden design. Part of me really wants to go for it, bite the bullet and enjoy having water literally 'on tap' in the garden for the next fifteen years for me, the family and friends to enjoy. It's quite an initial outlay with ongoing maintenance costs but I can take it with me if I move. I've always been pretty sensible, I save, I don't spend money on holidays or children or expensive clothes and you only live once, so why not spend it this way instead? .... I'm thinking it'd be a mid life crisis type of acquisition. Not a sports car but my kind of equivalent. It's still a dream but slightly closer to a reality after my visit and enquiries today, hence the blip.

After my daydreaming afternoon I was brought back to reality by a trip to the head shrink, who was really interested to hear about Mummy's diaries and thinks they will really help me. I'm feeling positive. Well, who wouldn't on an April day when the car showed 23C at one stage and it was mainly around 16C with only light cloud. Just lovely.

I've got the house to myself tonight and must get on with the ironing pile. Only two more days to the weekend!
