Excitement

In four hours Mark will once again be landing on the sublimely sunny turf of the UK. I know I should be excited, but it hasn't really sunk in yet. He's excited, I know that much, he was absolutely beaming when it came to leaving his house this morning. Other than waiting there are still a lot of things that need doing. I need to clean out the guinea pigs, shower, make my double bed up, things like that. Yet I seem unable to find the motivation to actually move from my computer chair where I am sat wrapped in both my warm snuggly dressing gown and my duvet. My room, for once, is fairly tidy; well, by my standards at least. Perhaps a few areas are out of order, but, you know, that's just me.

I fully expect that I won't be posting again until Mark has left; he is, after all, only staying for a very short time, and I want to spend as much of that in his company as possible. I'm particularly looking forward to the fact that it's "talk like a pirate day" on Sunday. Mark loves pirates and I'm sure we will participate in it in some way or other. And then with Monday's trip to the zoo, also just around the corner, the time that I can spend alone with him becomes mainly today and tomorrow. Still, to keep him entirely to myself would be very selfish, especially since he is beginning to build friendships with both Hayley and Ash.

He is also bringing his camera over with him (as you'd expect from a tourist of sorts) and I'm sure that we will get many many photos of his trip, short as it is. A group photo would be particularly lovely as we don't seem to have any that are completely posed.

Anyway, I've been sat here for far too long now, especially with the amount of things I need to prepare.

Until Tuesday readers, take care.
