Lazy weekend

My annual four weeks of holiday started on Friday and as a sign the sun broke though the clouds when I left the office at 2 o'clock. An hour later I was getting my eyebrows done, having a facial and a lovely massage. I stumbled out of there two hours later very relaxed but also incredible tired. Something that always happens when I have a full body massage. The 10 minute walk home felt more like 20 or 30 minutes and home I crashed on the sofa. Some pizza and a glass of wine kept me going until 10 pm, but then I gave up. Gawd, I'm such a party girl...

Yesterday and today I have to admit that I haven't done much. Slept late, getting dressed late, watched TV, read some and done some easy cooking. Just like the last couple of weeks the sun is shining one minute and then the next minute it's pouring, so I don't feel terribly bad about just having spent time on the balcony instead of going out for real.

What annoys me though is that this morning I woke up with the the fist signs of summer cold. Argh! Sore throat, a bit of aching body and a stuffy nose. Just fabulous! Looking in my journal this morning, this is the third year in a row that I get a cold at the start of my holidays. I guess I'm becoming one of those people who get ill when
slowing down and starting to feel relaxed. Anyhow I do not like it one bit, and I hope most of it is gone on Thursday when I leave for Scotland.
