Long Deep Breath...................

Today is the first day of my long summer holiday from school, after taking a long, deep breath I have compiled this list

• Spend time with my eldest son who lives 300 miles away - I've only seen him for a couple of days since Christmas
• Sort out, chuck out and get ready everything I need for going back to work
• Catch up on the housework and big cleaning jobs
• Catch up on my studying - I need to do 6 long modules for one qualification and probably 30 or 40 shorter pieces of work for the other qualification - intention is to split that down and try to do X number per week.  Got to keep going - it all ends in January and I'll have free time again!
• I'd like to do a bit of painting - of the decorative sort if time allows
• and lastly, I have several quilts to make and it will be a chance to get to know my new Janome Horizon machine a lot better.
