How YOU doin’?
 |
Pippin almost never sits on me when I’m in bed - she usually likes to snuggle up against me - so I’m glad I was able to capture the moment. The mornings are pulling in now, and while I’m up when it’s light on days when I’m working from home, three days a week I have to go into the office. I have to say, after a year and a half working solely from home, getting up in time for the commute three days running feels like hard work!
Happily, next week I don’t have to go into work next week as it’s our 20th wedding anniversary. Long before the ’rona hit we’d planned to have a trip back to Seville, where we spent our honeymoon, taking in a night or two at the Parador in Carmona. We’ve decided to postpone that, and so we’re having a week in St Ives. I won’t lie, it’s nowhere near as exciting, but I am pleased to be getting away at all.
I have packed, but for once I won’t be wearing the same old things in my holiday photos. (Will you even recognise me?) Partly that’s down to the weather - in September I usually go somewhere warm enough to take summer clothes - and partly it’s because I’m still carrying my lockdown weight. So you’ll have something different to look out for!
Some things never change though… She’s still a fighter!
Happy Anniversary to you both. I hope you have a lovely time.
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteSt. Ives sounds lovely - although perhaps not as warm as Seville ... I'm looking forward to seeing your holiday photos and the things you'll be wearing. Bess loves to snuggle up against me in bed too, she only sits on us when she thinks it's time for her breakfast :-) Have a great holiday! xxx
ReplyDeleteIt was actually really warm - though not Seville levels of warm. I didn't need my coat most days.
DeletePippin is absolutely gorgeous! I love how cats never continue to amaze. Franks, after 4 years of living with us, has finally decided he loves biscuits dunked in tea!
ReplyDeleteLiz goes to St Ives every year and the photos always look amazing. Have a fantastic anniversary and a wonderful trip and I can't wait to see the new Mim wardrobe - you've got cgreat taste in clothes so I know you'll look fabulous! xxx
Heh, I wore three outfits all week in the end. It was quite liberating not having to bother too much.
DeleteHave a great week in St.Ives and I hope the weather is kind to you. Pippin is gorgeous!

She is! So cute, and so unwilling to be cuddled!
DeleteOh my gosh, Pippin is such a cutie! Vizzini loves snoozing on us (we're just big heat sources for him, I'm sure), and I love it when he does his "super-kitty" pose, stretched from our laps to our feet.
ReplyDeleteYour getaway sounds wonderful! L and I are celebrating our 25th anniversary this coming March, and don't have anything so fancy planned (yet).
Oooh, I hope you do get to do something fun for your 25th. That's a real milestone.
DeleteZiggy was fine after our holiday; Pippin had a massive sulk and refused to come in for several days after we retrieved them from the cattery. So cute, so moody!
Well you know how much I love St Ives so I hope you do too!
DeleteWe're 25 years together next year eek I'll have to see if I can get Himself away somewhere....
Happy Anniversary to you both. xx
