I haven't updated for a while and I really have no excuse of why aside from being busy working and sleeping.

I hadn't quite realised exactly how much sleep I get through on the holidays. In schooldays I get up at 6:30 and all of a sudden on holiday it's like a flipped switch and I'm dead until 9:00-10:00 and still managing nap in the afternoons.

My biggest thing over these last two weeks has been the almost constant marking I've been doing - there's been so much, and now we have the wonder that is report season. Actually I should really stop whinging about this because everyone else probably has it just as bad or possibly worse.

In other news, it seems highly unlikely that K-chan will be made redundant, something we are both pleased with and some enough can start looking for a house. We are both agreed on really, really, really wanting a garden, especially when the weather has been so glorious. It was sat in the punts yesterday baking relentlessly whilst trailing toes in the water, and earlier in the week on the parents patio that I realised I want a nice garden with a patio or decking to sit out in and enjoy the nice weather. So far the nearest we have got is stealing next doors front garden to hang the washing out in.

It probably doesn't bother our neighbours as currenty:
- We have never seen them leave the house
- All the lights are always on
- Yet all blinds and curtains are tightly shut.
- The gardens are over growing
- Six months of phonebooks and yellow pages are outside.
- They have never mowed the lawn and yet take the milk in every Tuesday (I have only seen a single hand reach out and take it)

The conclusion fomr K-chan's mum is that it's a cannabis factory, any other ideas. We tried posting a letter through but the mysterious hand only snatched it throguh and we didn't get a peep.

Only seven weeks until proper holiday in Cornwall and everything.

Oh by the way N.Yorks peeps are you likely to be around week of the 27th July - particularly the Monday?
