Empty Nest II

We rattled around this weekend; the first time that Moonface and I have spent a weekend completely without children. Our house felt empty. The weather didn't help, as after a week of blue skies and cool sunshine, we had rain all day on Sunday. Winter had arrived, and he wasn't welcome. Instead of going for a bracing walk, we huddled and whinged.

No matter. Life beckons. I will cook for ten next weekend, and hope to feed more. Work is fun, even though there is little of it, and there's not a pile of cash. We will retreat this winter into a warm core of rooms, and let the others freeze.
