In less than 24 hours I will be home and sleeping in my own bed. But it will be much more lonely than before I think. I might have to bring in Evelyn and let her sleep with me tomorrow night just so I will have someone to cuddle and starve off the loneliness.
Leaving in the morning will be hard. Last time when Ben and I parted we thought it would only be a week so it wasn't difficult at all to say goodbye. This time I know it will be September before we see him again. I already had a few tears tonight about it.
I think Ben will have a hard time this week without us here at the flat to come home too, even though many nights he was exhausted and only spent a few minutes with us, there was always a little kiss and cuddle with baby, and a hug and smile hello from me.
I hope Evelyn is good on the plane again tomorrow like she was on the flight over.... I do not think I will be as lucky though, as last time it was the redeye and she slept through most of the flight because it was her actual sleeping time.... Now our sleep schedules are completely off and I do not exactly know how we will both do tomorrow. It's 4am and she woke me at 2:30am to play and just now is bugging me for a bottle and looking a little sleepy again....
Okay Evelyn now has a bottle. I am so proud she is laying here next to me on the couch holding the bottle like a big girl! She has a little help (bottle propping with a blanket) but she has 2 hands on it and is holding it about 50% I would say is her!
So today I made 3 Strawberry Rhubarb Pies and put them in the freezer. I told Ben one is his birthday pie and he can cook it up whenever his wants and eat the whole thing or share it with whomever. But I asked him to save the other 2 until I get back and we have company. He was good with that.
Ben and I went out to dinner tonight at a nice seafood restaurant near the flat and we had oysters! so yummy it was a really good dinner I keep forgetting we on an island and the ocean is close by and so they do fish/seafood well here!
Then home to the flat and I packed up pretty much everything we are taking home with us to Toronto. I am leaving a bunch of things here though. I am looking forward to returning in the fall and using the fireplace! Already the late evenings are cool down to 12 degrees tonight. So weird that's hot and humid in the day like mid 20's and then so cool at night now.
Ben says this last week has been more typical weather for England and the uk crew members have been saying the heat wave and summer are over now and here comes the fall weather.... summer is really short here. But the fall/spring weather last a long time. I guess we will find out for ourselves!
I will continue to blog at home in Toronto over the next weeks as we prepare for our long stay in England and to give updates on how and what Ben is doing. So please continue to check in and read the blog!
Ben will be spending his birthday filming in Paris! I am sad to miss out on going with him but likely it would have been difficult to go with him and Evelyn and it sounds like he is looking forward to spending some down time partying with his camera crew. Already his friends on the crew are planning his birthday eve festivities.
Okay Evie has finished her bottle and is smiling in her sleep.... she looks like Ben right now I think.... Mostly I see my sister and myself when I look at her and then times like now I see Ben all over..... Time to put her back to bed and try to catch some more sleep myself!
Oh and I have a ride from the airport home tomorrow! Thank you Hannah! Next time I blog will be home in Toronto....
