Not so happy this morning.

Yesterday was the last day of the school term for both girls. So no more getting up in the pitch dark this year! Hurrah! I really do not enjoy dragging myself out of bed when it’s still night, so I was really looking forward to a lovely relaxing morning, waking up when I felt ready and reading a few stories with the girls. Well guess what? I woke up about 5:30 am. Lay in bed for about an hour until I decided this was a complete waste of time, so I got up and since then I have been doing some work, reading the news and now doing some baking to take to a friend’s later. We have planned a get-together with our families to play some board games this afternoon/evening. It’s great to have got a few things done, but not at all what I had in mind. By the time we’re due to go out I’ll be ready to go back to bed! All rights reserved. © Text and image copyright Fleur 2021.

Hopefully after a few days, you'll be enjoying a new routine of sleeping in a little.

Well, maybe. I normally wake up around 7 anyway but any earlier really is unnecessary especially today! But I don't want to get into the habit of sleeping late because in two weeks' time I then have to readjust to school time, and it's important because Big One has exams as soon as she gets back!

@JudyEv Of course! Long summer holidays for you guys! It must be kind of strange in winter - do you just have a short holiday with nothing particular happening?

@Fleura Fair enough. I keep forgetting that not every country have their long holiday over the Christmas/New Year period. Our kids are off now till early February.

I'm always happy to take naps during my day... When Pretty leaves me alone and lets me, at least. I just got up and microwaved some new broccoli and cheese tots. Have you heard of them? They look like tator tots but are made of broccoli and cheese. YUM! I'll share if you'd like to try them. Photo is mine.

Never even had a 'tator tot' although I have heard the name. I've just had toast with lemon curd, just the thing to soothe a tired spirit.

@Fleura What is "lemon curd"? That doesn't sound very good.

Usually it's when you are not obliged to get up early that you cannot sleep.

@Fleura Absolutely! I thought I would have stayed in bed longer after we retired, we always get up at 5 in the morning.

I can sympathize with you. It happens. I’ve been setting the alarm for weeks. Odd how workers show up so early in the morning WHEN they decide to show up at all.

It took me ages to get over waking up at four AM and sometimes I still do. Mostly I wake up just before seven just as the radio starts

Doesn't seem like a bad morning to me. I hope the rest of the day was better.

It did get better, thank you, although I did yawn a lot through dinner!
