Red Faced


Today was a lovely day in every sense, it was sunny and warm with just enough breeze to make it comfortable. Robbie and I were able to enjoy the luxury of having nothing to do and no reason to rush anywhere. It is so nice to just be on our own for a few days, we really should make time for ourselves more often.

We decided to take a drive to Mundesley and on the way Robbie announced that they were probably having a lovely quiet week at work without him. Perhaps they are, but I am sure he will make up for lost time when he gets back! This morning a casual glance out of the car window set him off on a long and detailed monologue about the history and evolution of water towers, so I am sure he will treat everyone at work to that little gem when he returns.

We had a very happy and chilled time in Mundesley, in fact I was so chilled that I agreed to Robbie having onion rings with his lunch - so we had to drive with the car window open on the way back. We took a slight diversion to Tesco to pick up a few essentials, all was going well until we got to the section with the toiletries and Robbie held up a product and very loudly discussed my requirements. There are some things that you just don't want to draw attention to - unless you are Robbie. I decided to do without the product for now and I made a dash for the checkouts to avoid further embarrassment.

I love spending quality time with Robbie, but a fortnight of undiluted Robbie may be a bit much even for me. So I am sending him off for some respite at the weekend - he will be playing trains among other things.
