I especially envy your hour in bed in the mornings spent reading with a coffee. I'd so love to have mornings like that-- maybe when the kids are a bit older. This will be our first ever school summer holiday and I'm really looking forward to not having to get up early, get everyone ready and get to school...Have a great weekend!

We muse things like "it seems ages since we XXX doesn't it" "wow that seems a long time ago" it marks the start of our holiday and makes it feel long. I like busy and lazy - depends how much they are bickering!!!

Perhaps the supermarket follows the same health and safety rules that stop us from taking empty toilet roll tubes into schools for children to make models out of. It's all mad!

I'm laughing about the tills no longer working; when I was younger, I worked as a cashier in a grocery store and we had fairly frequent power outages in the store during storms. But they had a generator that could power the front end of the store where the cash registers were, and the area where the fridges and freezers were. They couldn't turn the lights on, though. So we kept working even in the dark. There was enough light from the windows at the front of the store to see what we were doing, but I bet we were in more danger with the registers working than you were with them not! :)Jennifer Hayshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04685253944514672324noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4515007843975800463.post-17879932417367288092015-07-01T18:37:02.234+01:002015-07-01T18:37:02.234+01:00I love a bit of laziness.

After a few days I get all achieving again but it is so good to just stop for a while.
