Dean finally left today, exactly 4 weeks after arriving for what was supposed to be a one-week fast. We’d been joking that we expected him to show up back on the doorstep a few hours after leaving, so we had a good laugh when we found his glasses on the kitchen table and I had to chase him and Arvind down en route to the airport – fortunately, they’d stopped at Donna’s house and we reached them by cell phone before I got all the way to the airport.
A forensic scientist (who’s currently working on her primary school teaching diploma and who happens to have neon pink hair) arrived today for a company-sponsored retreat, and an entrepreneur who’s quitting smoking arrived later in the afternoon for a week-long fast. Jane and Arvind were out for lunch, and I ended up having a 2-hour lunch with the scientist because we were talking so much.
I did a bunch of ironing (I have mastered it now and can iron/fold fitted sheets in just 4 minutes so they look better than they did when they came out of the package! I’m putting it on my CV) and cooked dinner tonight.
It was pretty quiet without Dean, but we’ll have 2 more guests arriving tomorrow so it’ll almost be a full house – should be fun!
We had planned to watch a movie but ended up all sitting around talking ‘til 9:30, so decided to call it an early night.
