Anna's Flipflops and the Aliens

Back home and immediately the stress levels rise.
A week's mail waits to be dealt with, some of it important and some basically irritating, and the house clutter reminds me that I have to find the energy to organise its removal.
We've spent a happy fulfilled week on holiday with just a few clothes, a book and a laptop, so we obviously don't need a houseful of 'stuff'.

Son#1 and family down in Edinburgh for a party, stayed with us last night, but couldn't be persuaded to put their name on many of the things going a-begging.
In fact rather than relieving us of anything, they left behind a pair of Anna's flipflops, which in the absence of anything more interesting have featured in today's blip.

At lunch time we strolled across the meadows in the heat to look at a showflat in Quartermile for furniture ideas and to peer through the windows of our soon-to-be dower house and marvel at its ability to deny us any storage facilities for the clutter we have in the castle.
Oh dear, I shouldn't have gone down this thread in my blip..... I feel a headache coming on..........

All in all it's been a hiatus of a day with nothing much happening but a lot of unecessary worrying which is making me feel tired and a bit jaded. I'm hoping that life will get back on a positive track tomorrow.
