HOME ALONE
SOOOO
The daughters have moved out. OH GODS but it feels good to have the house to myself. Okay, so it's a bit quiet sometimes especially when, like tonight Ef is with his dad but it is blissful to clean my kitchen, do the dishes, go to bed/work/holiday and have the kitchen clean and dishes washed when I come back.
Never again will I have to see that teetering mound of grease and dried on tomatoe sauce. Never again will I have to wash a plate before i can eat my dinner. Never again will I have to wear a towel around me when I come out of the bathroom (well at least until Ef reaches around 13) never again will I have to queue for the shower, or close the bathroom door, or clean hair out of the plughole that isn't mine, or have strange collonies of living creatures appear in the kitchen attached to a mug that has been lying on a shelf for three months, or have the salt disappear only to reappear six months later, empty, or to smell chocolate that I can't eat or.... Well, at least not until next time... and i am sure there is going to be a next time; if not with the girls then with Ef.
I am sitting here having just got home from holiday, all alone. The house is dark and cold, the television is off. There is no one to talk to, no one chattering in the background. The house is silent and feels empty...
and GODS IS IT GOOD :)
I'm about to cook Tai green curry, with quorn and I am going to eat it with cous cous mixed with garlic and spring onions and garlic and herb croutons on top. Usually if I want to eat something like this I have to cook another meal as well for everyone else. Life is good
Yeah yeah I know... vampire.... garlic.. What can I say? I love the stuff
