Waiting...
for Grandma and Richard to arrive,
for the Newcastle match to start so I can follow it online,
for Lily and Rose to wake up from their third sleep of the day!
Not doing anything really, just hanging about!
Actually, hanging about and not doing anything aren't what I do. I find it incredibly difficult to relax and can always find things to do to keep me busy. Part of that is the result of always having to have things 'just right' but no matter how much I tell myself that 'it can wait' it bugs me so much that it's easier just to get on with it, and the the next thing comes along and bugs me...and so it goes on!
Charles, on the other hand, has absolutely no difficulty relaxing. he is one of the most relaxed people I know and can happily sit doing very little all day! Of course I find this just a trifle irritating, like this morning when I'm rushing around like a blue ***** fly and he's having a leisurely cuppa and piece of toast and reading the papers, then taking half an hour to decide which jumper to wear (you're going to the TOON GAME! Why do you need to think about it!!), checking emails and surfing the net. meanwhile I am stamping around in an attempt to let him know that I'm busy and he's not and when he says, "Would you like me to do something?' I say, 'No thank you, I CAN MANAGE!'
