We came home :(
I was more than somewhat surprised to find it was getting light and nearly half past seven in the morning when I awoke. An undisturbed eight hour plus sleep is such a rarity for me these days.
After a coffee and a nurdle on the smartphone, I made fresh coffee and disturbed the better half. I'd have left her to sleep longer but as she is due in work tonight we needed to crack on.
Bacon buttys for breakfast soon ensued followed by offloading the bags, opening all the things that should be open, closing all the things that should be closed, turning off, on, up or down all the things that needed turing off, on, up or down and other such complex activities. And people say "oh, yachting, must be nice to do something simple and old fashioned like that". Yeah right!
A final job was to fire up the engine briefly whilst pouring antifreeze down the intake filter to protect the heat exchanger through the depths of winter (I hope!) and then we locked up and hit the road home.
A sub-2hr journey was good and we spent much of it in discussion about plans for the short, medium and long terms. The work/life balance isn't perfect at the moment but we need a good few years of reasonably high income yet to sort out our long term financial security. One or two ideas occurred to us that might move things forward a bit quicker than would otherwise be the case which we're going to look into
Now it's back to normal ... or what passes for normal hereabouts anyway!
