lady of leisure - it's exhausting!

you would have thought that having time on your hands would be fun, but let me tell you it can be exhausting!

yesterday my mother-in-law took me to charlies (a coffee shop in charlestown (a fishing village just south of st austell)) for coffee. terry (my father-in-law) had arranged a meeting at their house at 11.30, so marcia very kindly thought to take me out. just about every time i go to charlies i meet someone i know and yesterday was no exception and what started out as coffee at 11, soon merged into lunch at 12.15. just as marcia and i were finishing our lunch, terry finished his meeting and decided to come down and join us. and just as he was finishing his lunch in walked another lady from the church who had decided, on the spur of the moment to come down to charlestown to have a coffee and a walk on the beach whilst enjoying the sunshine. so we stayed and caught up with each others news whilst maureen had her coffee.

so we didn't leave charlies until around 2pm!

then we had a little wander down to the gift shop before marcia brought me home. i was surprisingly tired, it is amazing how exhausting sitting, eating, drinking and talking can make you.

as one of matthew's friends says 'i am looking forward to going back to work for a rest!'
