Home safe and sound. But you won’t believe what I found when I got back home.
My wife has been up to her old tricks again while I was away. It’s going to take me ages to put things right.
[image source – me!]
It was a pleasant drive home, with light traffic, and not too many people doing stupid things, like pulling out in front of me without looking.
I got home and gave my wife a big hug, and told her I missed her, because I did.
Then I started unloading the car, my gear, my washing and a new grape vine freshly liberated from my father’s garden. (to replace the plum tree that he gave me last time that didn’t survive Wellington’s wind.)
Then I walked into my bedroom and found out what my wife had been up to. I should've known.
She had taken my duvets to the Laundromat and sprayed my mattress with lavender water.
She even had the audacity to wash my programming mug!
It’s taken me decades to build up the tea stains in that mug! Now it shines brightly at me, like some sort of Osmond mug.
I have to wear dark glasses just to have my tea now.
It’s also going to take forever to get my bed to smell right too. There was over twenty years of farts stored in there. Now they are all gone, and I’ll have to start all over again.
The duvets are all fluffy and light and I’m not sure how I’ll cope with that. It will be like being smothered by feathery clouds.
I’m planning on jumping up and down on my bed for a bit to see if I can get them all back into their normal matted mess.
While I enjoyed going up to see my folks and I’m glad the festival went well, I’m also glad to be home again.
Be it ever so humble, and lavender scented, there really is no place like home.

Your new clean smelling bed sounds perfect, have more respect for your mattress lol
You must be the easiest husband to live with, ever! Never needing anything cleaned, how ideal.
I keep telling my wife that I am the ideal husband, that I'm perfect, but she just doesn't believe me. hehehe
It was really nice to come home to. Neither of us are too happy when we are apart. Sad but true.
We spent most of the weekend chatting to each other on Slack, like teenagers....
Well a woman cannot admit that outright! She shows it by cleaning your cup and bed ;-)
Yes, I can imagine being apart is no fun. How nice to have all this technology to still keep in touch!
Yeah it was actually really cool to be able to sit in a tent in the middle of a field and chat.
Please don't think (from my post) that I am in any way ungrateful. This is actually an on-going joke between us.
I keep hiding my mug so she can't clean it (I do wash it myself though) and whenever I go away for a couple of days she scrubs it clean.
Our lives are so exciting I can hardly bear it hehehe.
Haha, oh yeah, we've got the ongoing jokes aswell. Calling him a sleepyhead, while he calls me a nerd when he comes down from the bedroom and I'm already gaming :-)
heheheh I love it.
