It's been so nice having some time off: eleven days, and a half if you count the leaving early because I felt sick on the last Friday. In some ways I'm happy to be returning to work, I have been a little bit stressed about some stuff that happened just before I started this holiday, but it has been glorious to have the luxury of time, as well as sun shiny warmish weather.
