Hmmmm. Eight weeks off, kids back to school tomorrow.

my only free day to muck out my house, washing, hoovering, steam cleaning. Deep cleaning.

text from energy network to say power will be off all day.

is this a sign? That tomorrow should be a day in bed with a book?

it must be yes?

Oh yes. Reading and naps.

I thought so.

it goes off just after the school run, so time to make a flask of tea.

such unfortunate timing for the deep cleaning.

You need snacks too, as you can’t cook. Crisps and biscuits.

Ah yes. 🙌 I could make an extra snack box this evening. Perhaps some cheese and biscuits.

imagine the silence. No power means no Wi-Fi which means no phone 😱
