left to their own devices

I like to feel like I'm in control (even when a bit of an illusion). It will be tricky not to worry when I'm not here to see what is going on. Trust can be so hard. As a friend said, it's no biggie if teeth aren't cleaned for a week (except we're going to the dentist the minute I get back Friday afternoon). There's always the phone and text, I can send reminders that way ;). I'm going to miss music this week will have to think what I can do about that - yay, I've managed to get spotify onto my tablet (it's not the same as on my computer, no discovery playlist which is what i seem to mainly use nowadays) so will have music after all :)

There's lots to look forward to - I should see the cat who is usually well out of sight when I'm there with the dog, and it will be great to have so much quality time with my mum. But first there's still some work commitments to try and hand over, cheques to write. Etc etc. Plan is to head off around 4pm so I get to see kids again before I go.

We started a new song on Friday and it is shocking really how I make up my own version - the one I know (or clearly don't) is by Shaft, whereas now I have listened to other versions I think the lyrics are clearer there (or maybe that's cos I now know what I'm listening for?) - there's lots of metaphors to be taken from this!!

So, my more energetic version always went like this:
When the - when the - rhythms start to play dance with me, make me sweat

And actually it's a more gentle:
When marimba rhythms start to play, dance with me, make me sway

Who knew? (well everyone else, who must have been listening to Buble)!!

So far so good...
