Au Revoir, Suckas!

That’s right, I’m out of here like yesterday’s news!  Off like a whore’s drawers!  Like a prom dress at midnight!

For the next 10 days I will be here…

Hello-oo-oo?  Anybody out there??

No trams, metros, scooters, rushing, doorbells ringing, car horns honking, children screaming, people smelling or sirens wailing.  Just peace, tranquility, chilling, chatting, swimming, dog photographing and perhaps tree chopping.

We are off to the sunny south of France to visit my in laws!  We’ll be staying with Xander’s father and his wife in their new house, which, as you can see… a little remote.  Just a wee bit isolated. Mmmm isolation… peace… quiet…  Definitely not something we get a lot of here in Rotterdam.

We will also be visiting Xander’s mother and brother, both of whom ALSO have recently moved into new houses!  It will be great to see them again as well and see the new areas they are living in.  They are all so creative and handy, I can’t wait to see what they have done with their new homes!

I also can’t wait to be up there, in the middle of that forest, where there’s no people. Have I mentioned that?

Although I am somewhat concerned.  I’m so clumsy!  I always manage to fall, trip, bend wrong or do something to injure myself before or during my holidays.  What if I pull of a hangnail the wrong way?  I may bleed to death before help arrives!

If you don’t hear from me in two weeks, that means I talked them into letting me stay forever.  Don’t come looking for me, I don’t want to be found.

Or, it could also mean that I got an infection from a splinter and tragically passed just before the medics were able to find my location. In that case, please come to my funeral so I can appear to be really popular, ok?  Thanks!

Au Revoir, mes amis!
