I'm back - but I needed a break

No, I'm not home yet but my holiday is drawing to a close and I'm at the airport in Madeira taking advantage of the free Wifi. I haven't posted the past few days because I didn't think it would be fair to post if I wasn't prepared to sit and read, like and comment on lots of other posts and I honestly just needed a break from all of that. It's not to say that I don't enjoy it - I do, of course or I wouldn't do it at all - but I didn't want to spend so much time ignoring my husband by playing with you folks instead of spending my holiday time with him. It's the first significant break I've taken since I joined last autumn and I must admit I did spend a lot of time thinking 'must post that on myLot' but I resisted. So not it's a 4 hour trip back to the UK, then a drive to our friends for dinner and another hour and a half to get home to the cats and to see what state the garden is in. Something tells me tomorrow will be weeding day. What did I miss whilst I was gone?

I always feel exactly the same way when returning from a holiday. I sit at the airport trying to plan where I could go next.

I have three more trips already booked - India in October and two 3 night breaks in Morocco in December and next March. Just booked for four of us in March for a total of £147 for the flights.

@boiboing I like Morocco, but is it a prudent destination under the present climate?

@Asylum I go to Essaouira, not Marrakech but I would not worry about either. I have never felt unsafe in Morocco.

probably a good bit of chit chat but people have to have real life I know. glad to see you. I am finding where people posted months back and I didn't see it. so I guess we all play catch up at times

I don't know... as you're aware I haven't been around as much lately either... just pop in from time to time to see what is going on. Have a safe trip home!

Seems I returned to find I was back in the 1980s and football violence was the order of the day.

I totally understand that and have a very causal attitude too to being on- I do love it but you have to have the time and the opportunity as well.

Yes I agree. Take a break, come back fresh.

@boiboing It's hard to keep anything up without having some free time away from it to refresh ourselves

Can be overwhelming trying to respond to all the comments sometimes!

I sometimes start a cell message train to myself with "post later ideas" but yeah, good idea to get a good break in

@boiboing the important thing is that you had a great holiday and get home safe and sound. I can say that life at myLot seems to be going on just as usual and that is a good thing. Looking forward to your first post and vacation pics.

Weeding!!!!!! You are kidding. We have had so much rain every where is green and lush. I think you might need a scythe

So I guess the weeds have taken full advantage of your absence.
