bright and early the morning after our japanese home-cooking dinner party, the mister had to be in wales for a meeting. now i really should've planned this better because being the novice housewife that i am, cleaning takes forever. add cleaning deep-fryer to the agenda and it's an all-night job. now to be fair, our wonderful guests taught me how to use the dishwasher (lived here for a year, not used the dishwasher once!) and did most of clearing up. so why i was scrubbing till 3am is beyond me. then again, no one said the flat needed a deep clean... so to leave at 5am for wales was a bit of a stretch. ever the supportive wife, i insisted on going along to keep the mister company during the 4+ hour drive. but then it was quite counter-productive because he alleges i fell asleep the moment we left our garage, and only woke in wales. thus defeating the purpose of keeping him awake during the drive. oops. he was going to a tiny town and after some last minute scrambling, i found another tiny town to be dropped off at. managed to wander into their only tea room, plopped myself down for postcards and tea. read a few issues of goodhousekeeping and before i knew it, it was time to head home.
cue another four hour drive that i apparently slept through again. the mister was unamused.
