I almost did not want to come home from work last night. I have had a most enjoyable two weeks with two of my baby sisters and friends spending their holiday here with me. I had a packed house, full of laughter and evening chats in Yank accents. Boomer sisters and friends loitering downstairs at midnight for ice-cream. Busy bodies in the kitchen and the bathrooms. Music, dancing, barbecues in the garden, stories and reminiscences of youth, shopping, touring and gadding about London with them in-between my work schedule. Except for one who lives in Paris, the rest have flown back to the States yesterday morning. I am missing them. Much more so last night before bed during Rosary as it was something we did together before bedtime. Thank God for the wonders of technology because that is the domain where we keep in touch. Amazing how I could actually hear the house settle last night. Anyone else familiar with the sound of silence? I shall now put on a Led Zep until I get used to it again.
