He’s Back (he never is, is he?)
August 19th, 2008 by Purple13Hey Howdy Hey!
Yes my week in the sun (that was wednesday between the hours of sunrise and about 8.15am) with the children at my Mum and Dad’s in sleepy Gt Chishill is over and I am now officially back at work.
Trouble is, yesterday I was so tired (we had a evening workout and sauna at the gym) after eating dinner, i just crashed out on the sofa (grand schemes of blogging and web updates just went by the by) and this morning i don’t feel much livelier.
Are holidays really that draining? Do we feel a need to squeeze as much activity etc into our week off as possible that it takes us 2 ‘normal’ weeks to recover?
Have you ever been on a holiday and when you were back - you felt like you’d never had one?
Don’t get me wrong, it was lovely having my kids to myself and we did do lots despite the rain - a nature reserve where we collected leaves and feathers and made collages afterwards at ‘home’. A trip to the local market town (treat in toy shop) and a visit to the Imperial War Museum at Duxford where we walked thru Concorde, saw the B52 strato fortress and a spitfire (amongst others).
All over far to quick.
P.S aren’t Team GB doing well?
Welcome back Jonathan!
Quiet in the garden founder wise as Mike French is off till Sept, AC has puppy trouble
Bo just back from honeymoon and summer goes on…
Glad you had a ‘break’ of sorts and they can often be harded work than the norm. Did you try blogging in the sauna by the way - could be a market for it you know…
couldn’t find a powerpoint! curses - foiled again! pretty difficult but not impossible to complete a photo jigsaw puzzle with all that steam about.

Oh and Arvind is in India for a couple of weeks…
Lib back from her ‘field trip’ as below!
Welcome back mate..
glad to see you made it one piece.. lol..
and yes the better the holiday the longer it takes you to recover… my rule use to be half the time off devoted to the holiday and the rest devoted to recovering from the holiday…. it works a treat……
Welcome back Jonathan.
I’ve just come back from a festival which involved 4 days of drinking, mud diving, sleeping (not really) in a tent, dancing like a nutter to some brilliant bands, eating absolute rubbish and generally completely annihilating my body.
But do you know what? It was the best release and time off I could ever have wished for.
Yes I am not going to be recovered fully for the next week or so but for 4 days all I have had to think about is what to drink next and what band to go and see.
Sometimes the busiest times are the best times.
Welcome back aswell Lib,
Sounds like a great field ‘trip’.
field studies? lol - welcome back.

Welcome back…I missed your “voice” around here. For every away vacation, it seems like I need a vacation again to just rest. Now, my husband and I have stay at home vacations and will leave some decompression days before going back to work.
