It’s mid-term. Herself and Daniel are off in Munich on a school tour. They left at 4 yesterday morning and seem to be still alive. A tribute to their teachers.
We strongly encouraged Michael to go but he even more strongly resisted so he is home alone for the week. Boy is he loving it, my little home bird. We signed him up for a sports course between 9.30 and 4 (advertised as “for the sporty child” – “I’m not a sporty child,” he pointed out. I said that it would be fine, it is fine). I knocked off work early today and picked him up. I offered all manner of treats but he just wanted to go home and sit in front of the fire where, even now, he is sitting happily. It’s all very peaceful.
Enjoy it while you can (goes for both of you, I guess).
There is apparently a Finnish word for the act of ‘sitting in your underpants drinking beer with no intention of going out’, which sounds way more achievable than ‘hygge’. Sounds like Michael’s 2/3 of the way there.
Disgruntled, my friend has moved to Finland, I will ask her to carry out research.
BroLo, it was pleasant but we (parents) were glad to have the others back all the same, Michael, was more ambivalent.
