The other weekend I had a weekend away with a few other gents. I went south for a tournament on tie Friday night boat and was back up on the Sunday night boat, so only one night on dry land!
All in all I had a really good weekend away,won my tournament and collected a nice trophy for my troubles. It was strange though, as its probably the only time I've actually been away with out either the kids or wife as well. Yes I've had time at home without them, but then I've been busy doing DIY, so not much of a holiday.I was glad that it was a single bed, as I never seem to notice I'm sleeping on my own when I'm in a single bed. These days I find it weird to sleep alone in a double bed, as even when the wife is away at a conference or meeting I've usually got one of the bairns snuggling in! Yeah, they prob should get put back in there own beds, but its a lit easier just to let them snuggle in, plus they sleep better! The weekend away was good fun and I enjoyed the piece and quiet and uninterrupted sleep! It was nice to wake up without being jumped on! A nice long, leisurely shower to wake myself up was also good, a treat I don't usually get!
However, it still felt odd not having the kids around, not something in really use to. Although I enjoyed myself, I was glad to be home on the Monday morning and hearing the kids telling me all about their weekend and the parties that they were at. I can't say in in a hurry to go away again, at least not without the kids or wife.
A few years ago I would have loved the freedom, probably gone out and got blind drunk and eaten all sorts of questionable things from some dodge takeaway, these days I can't drink that way! Two pints and I'm done, dodgy kebabs are defiantly a thing of the past! I think I had one pint the whole weekend and didn't miss the beer at all!
