Take a leaf out of this book!...

Well I have been swamped!!  The University term has started and to say I have lots of work is an understatement.  In fact work has been incredibly stressful since I’ve been back.  I’m responsible for some 300 students in our first year intake this year which means it’s really difficult to cross things off of my to-do list.  Every time I cross something off the top of my list, 3 things get added on to the bottom, aaaagghhhhhh!

Anyway, I'd hoped to tell you all about my lovely holiday to Cornwall, but I think that telling you about my kittens is much more apt at this moment, given how bogged down things have been these last few weeks.

You see, when you are really stressed, animals have a wonderful way of making you laugh and showing you that life should be enjoyed.  Tonight as I was sorting through a pile of paperwork and generally chasing my tail before it all starts again tomorrow, Flossy & Otter were doing this...

Chill out they said...relax they said..come sit a while and snuggle they said..life is too short to stress out, just come and lie on the sofa and stretch like you have never stretched before and life will be good!

Well, I intend to do that for the rest of the evening while working on not feeling guilty (something I'm not very good at).  In the meantime, I hope this finds you all well.  I'll be back with more bits really soon...just as soon as I've learnt to relax little my little Floss & Otts...

Big hugs to you all and don't forget to take time to relax!
