You're all alone

Ned's gone up to the Lakes for a few days with his chums and I'm here holding the fort. It's awfully quiet. I've tidied and cleaned and dusted and gardened a bit (but there's a cold wind blowing so I've come in) and now I'm at a loose end. I think I'll go and find a sunny spot somewhere and read a book.

I bet Ned won't be sticking to cardboard-and-water while he's away so neither shall I, especially as I'm not the one trying to lose weight! I think I'll indulge in egg and chips for supper tonight. Mmmmmmm, chips ......
