have missed it this year, plans never came together,

we meant to go together. i have stayed hotel, while

this is nice, have missed the freedom of the

self catering stay.

so absent from work a while, at home, i pretend

it is a self catering cottage, which of course

it is.

i play, and rest, eat little good things, watch

films till late, and have unsucessful laying in.

if i was overly concerned with cost, of course

is cheaper.

we lit the fire the first time this year.

burned your correspondence.

sbm.
