In which we go far...

The company Landrover (which comes with chauffeur)

On Monday I started my new job.
It is a bigger job than my previous one
with lots to learn.
And so my family decided to schedule
a light week of travelling.


MasterM
to France for 3 days of parties
out Monday
back Thursday
(flight delayed until midnight)

pit stop at hospital
to investigate potential broken wrist
(actually a very bad sprain)

MasterM
to South Africa for 5 weeks
travelling, working, mingling with friends
out Friday

MissM
to South Africa for 6 weeks
attending school in her holidays
- how bad is that? -
out Sunday

Poppy
to luxurious kennel accommodation
for 2 weeks of peace and quiet
out Saturday
(did I mention the trip to the Vets? No?)

MrM and MrsM
to France
for 2 weeks of recuperation
out Monday.

I hope that I get there
before my head bursts.
Back in 2 weeks

p.s. I will be offline while I am on holiday
and so will not be able to respond to emails.
Please don't do anything exciting
while I am away.

Have a fabulous time in France. And I hope both MasterM and MissM have exciting (but safe) trips to SA.

I'll steer well clear of any excitement I may encounter until you return.

Wouldn't it be nice if people really didn't do anything exciting while you were gone?! You wouldn't miss out on anything, and you wouldn't need to catch up on anything. Aahh...

Arriving on Bastille Day, eh?

Two weeks in France sounds like a splendid way to recuperate. Please eat a croissant for me. I'll call a halt to all plans for excitement in this neck of the woods -- good thing hubby's birthday falls just after your return!

Have a wonderful wonderful break. Take lots of photos for me. Write some poetry.

Sleep.

I'll try and keep it low key while you are gone.

Looking forward to hearing all about it when you return...

Ali said...

Happy Holidays, Alice. I have family visiting for just a little too long so I can promise you I won't be having any fun at all.

I lust after old Rovers.
Have a wonderful holiday. (That will make three weeks that I am out of touch with you!)

BreadBox said...

Have a lovely time, MrsM! I like that job schedule: one week on, two off: does it continue like that when you return??

How is the new job working out, by the way?

hope your head didn't burst! And have a wonderful holiday. Your blue bowls are beautiful. I definitely get the need to buy china instead of nail varnish.x
