That was all for Sunday, it felt long too, and then today I didn't have to get up too early, just be ready to meet the "regulars" who stay here every week. Will and Carolina went to town (they drop their kids off at school about an hour away and stay there until 1 when they get out everyday) so I was "in charge".
