Creatures of habit

As the dog heads home after his daily walk, he refuses to be on one side of the street - each time he is insistent on crossing over and being on the side nearest home. I think we can all be creatures of habit, falling into well worn grooves rather than summoning energy to do things a little differently.
My worry about this week's holiday at home is that it will feel similar to every other day. Already I have supported breastfeeding mums, I've done washing and tidying, and the sort of things I do every single day. I'm craving the novelty that comes with a change of scene, the break from the same routine. Given that this week I will be in my familiar setting, I will just have to apply a bit of thought to find joy in the ordinary, and to mark the differences where I can. Eating meals on a variety of chairs. Maybe wearing a fancy dress costume when I MOP the kitchen floor. We'll see :-). I've already crossed silly walks off my list :-)
