J is in the States this week. He's in Vail, Colorado skiing. He says it's work but it sounds awfully suspicious to me. On Friday he comes home for a few days, just in time for British Mother's Day on Sunday, and then flies off to China on Monday. I'm actually OK with all of his travelling. I do a lot of work on the flat in the evenings when J is away or I rent movies I know he's not interested in seeing and make meals that I like but he doesn't. It works out fine.
We do have a busy week. It all hinges on tomorrow. I've got builders coming in to repair two windows, replace the wall lights in the hall and a few other bits and bobs. I've also got a man coming to steam clean the furniture and rug AND the new TV cabinet is being delivered. My Valentine's Day present is also arriving, a bay tree for the front of the house. I was out today painting the masonry work in preparation so it all looks lovely when J gets back.
On Thursday I have a meeting at St Margaret's, Toby's 'big' school. This is where we get all the details about school uniforms, lunches, activities, etc. I'm really excited about it. I can't wait to see Tobes in his uniform. I know I'm going to be such a silly ass and cry my eyes out on his first morning, but hopefully only once he's in class and I'm safely outside. The years go by so quickly now.
Then we've got the Easter Fair at MC's school on Saturday which sounds amazing and Mother's Day on Sunday. I've booked us in for lunch at a cafe in Covent Garden (that's the pic at the top). I'm hoping the weather will be nice so we can stroll and shop afterwards.
And that's my week ahead.

I've always wanted to eat at that cafe in CG.. good for people/tourist watching, definitely. :) Don't forget that Sunday is the St Pats parade in central London ... might be crowded/train weirdness.
I'm excited for you on Tobes going to school...! can't wait to see him in his uniform - does he have to wear a silly hat?
:)
does J know about all of these men you're having over while he's gone....very suspicious. heh. srb:)
it is a stick pony! as in "go outside and ride your pony and don't bang his tail on the walls on the way out!"
