waking up is (surprisingly) hard to do

8:30am and looking out the window.

There's low cloud in the valley.

Not so much in my head as it seems that it is possible to get a full night of sleep. Putting 45 miles between the children and your head will help with that though.

So very grateful for the chance to be away with Mrs theWeir for a night. And for a lovely hotel. And for previously-given gift vouchers that meant we didn't have to think about paying for other things.

Home 25 hours after we left and the Bairns were pleased to see us. Which was great.

A wee jaunt on the bikes for an hour in the afternoon to visit some play parks, dinner, Danny Macaskill documentary and another early night.

Happy Saturday.
