Spending time with friends

Even though I just had a short break to see my Mum and Dad, I have a holiday coming up as well. Because I am getting visitors. Well, I say visitors, but unfortunately one of them had to cancel due to illness in her family, so visitor.

The cancelling visitor was due to come and stay with me and I had it all planned. She could help me with the remainder of the boxes downstairs, we could go on shorter and longer hikes, perhaps go to an eat-all-you-can-buffet and of course we would have chocolate and wine and chats and whathaveyou. Instead she will be taking care of an elderly uncle and aunt and their dogs. 

The other visitor is due to come and stay in a hotel. Not so much planning going on there. We will probably meet up at several points and do things together, but nothing definite yet. Mind you, Pepperfly (yes, she) has been to this neck of the woods before and makes her own plan anyway. She did say one thing though: if I wanted, I could work and we could still meet up! 

Really? After looking forward to my holiday for several months? Give up said holiday for work? As if!!! So, tomorrow is my last day, well half day really and then bliss. No alarm. No work. 

If you're in the area...

  1. Mara I'm glad to hear your Mom's recuperation is going well.
    I agree if I had vacation planned I'd take it no matter.
    Enjoy your visitor and maybe the other one can come in the summer.
    Hugs madi and mom

  5. Hm. Met die wijn kan ik je inderdaad niet helpen. Met die dozen, dat klinkt als werk... :-) Maar die chocolade klinkt goed, korte en minder korte loopjes klinken goed en een buffet is altijd goed. Haha...nou ja. Eerst maar eens zorgen dat ik zondag fit genoeg ben om te vliegen, anders wordt het verhaal wel heel erg treurig...

    1. C is goed in werk! En zorg goed voor jezelf. Als er nou helemaal niemand kan komen kan ik wel een beetje triestig worden...

  6. Hahaha. Ja. Klopt. C. is veel beter in werk dan ik. Zeker tijdens vakanties. :-) Maar. Jij triestig, dat leidt tot triestige blogs. Moeten we niet hebben. Ik doe mijn best. Vanavond rijst met veel sambal!
