Home alone

A much needed evening spent with just me (and the cats). Rol left at the crack of sparrows yesterday morning to travel to a conference, leaving me with the makings of three days of decent meals. He's back on Saturday morning.

He knows that at the moment I have got a lot on my mind preparing to leave my current job, working on a few non-work projects and other bits of 'stuff' that I'm dealing with right now. He chose wisely, leaving me with things that I could make lovely meals with quite quickly and easily. And a bottle of wine.

Tonight has been lovely. A couple of text exchanges with himself, a quick whizz round removing bits of surface dust, taking time to prepare a meal of mushrooms, onions and peas cooked in a cream and pepper sauce with rice whilst listening to the radio. Couple of glasses of wine and I feel ready for tomorrow.

Tomorrow I am being taken out for my farewell lunch with my two lovely colleagues. I don't leave until next Wednesday but tomorrow is the last day we are all in the office together.

And this time next week I shall be in Amsterdam.
