Home alone...

I am home alone (well, apart from K & O) as Mr D is on a 'study tour' - i use ' ' here as many people have chuckled at the prospect of an Autumn 'study tour' to... yes, you guessed it California! Now, to get this in perspective he did spend 16 hours on a hideous flight to get there and is the NORTH (chilly foggy) California and he is trogging about like a hobbo the whole time he is there but all the same... it makes people laugh. The 'tour' is 2 whole weeks long and i have 5 nights alone when the little people go to London... what will i do. Over a year since i had this much time on my hands! Freaky or what, at one time this was an accepted part of everyday. Dare i even say it but it was deemed a bit much to not have at least 4 nights a week doing nothing / what you wanted / being alone / hanging out. Odd huh...
