It's half term week so we've been socialising a lot more than usual. I have to say, I'm ready for a bit of quiet time now!! Perhaps I'm getting too old, but we've had 4 meals cooked for us both and Mr D cooked the other two nights and one large meal cooked by me for friends. Don't get me wrong, I am not complaining and it's been lovely not to have to think about what I'm going to cook, BUT many of these meals have been accompanied by wine (and limoncello in some cases). I now feel I need to step away from the excesses and return to my glass of water and simple fayre.
It must be part of human nature to want what you haven't got.....in the normal scheme of things, I live quite a solitary lifestyle much of the time, drink more water than wine and eat mostly vegetables and pulses. Sometimes during these times, I think it would be nice to socialise more with all that that entails. I get my wish, and hey presto, before long, I'm longing to get back to my simpler lifestyle. How perverse am I?!
So, thank you to all those who have cooked for me and provided me with a wonderful 'fix' of social time, but I'm crawling back into my rabbit hole now for a nice rest! X
I know exactly how you feel!!!! I too lead quite a solitary life all week and come the weekend when we get the kids dropping by, along with hubs having weekends off and all the stuff we find to do, I can honestly say I am glad when Monday comes around so like you I can return to my rabbit hole. I'm by no means at the Shirley Valentine stage yet and talk to the walls, but the cat is great company.
ReplyDeleteIt's one step better than me chatting to the chickens!!
DeleteFor some reason it wouldn't let me post on your lady page I think it was my ipad! But I wanted to say what lovely pictures they are. My dad's family are from Yorkshire and I think of it as a second home it's beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThe sun helped of course, but it really is stunning scenery!
DeleteI'm with you it's nice for a treat, but I would rather be home anytime, some people think we are a bit odd as we barely go out socialising, but it our choice and we are happy living the simple and quiet life.
