Long Weekend and New Start

I've spent most of this weekend in Thirsk, relaxing thoroughly with a lot of badminton and table tennis, some films, and a large quantity of coffee. It's been really good; I came home mid-afternoon today.

I've actually just bought an espresso machine, which will hopefully arrive soon, having discovered how much I enjoy lattes (which have been instrumental, really, in learning to enjoy coffee without sugar).

Today is Liz and my eighth wedding anniversary. Over the last few weeks, we've decided that neither of us want to separate, and we'll be remaining together. It's going to be tough, and involve a lot of work, but I'm hopeful.
