What I did on my (weekend) holidays

selenayI know, it's Thursday, and I'm only just updating with weekend shenanigans. In my defense, Dad has been here and it's been hard finding the time to do much of anything. He went home late last night (so very late, I am so very tired from taking him to the airport) so now life should go back to my usual routine.
It's was the weekend of my bi-weekly Friday off, so we decided to take advantage of the time and go up to the north of the province to visit my cousin and spend the weekend at his cottage. It's beautiful up there. Isolated, spectacular, quiet. Although his cottage isn't exactly a rustic cabin - they've improved it so much over the years, and it's super-comfortable. I haven't seen my cousin for years (he's Mum's first cousin - we give up on calculating cousin-ship past that) so it was great to see him and Mum loved having the chance to catch up with him and his wife.
Dad even came out of his shell and talked a fair bit, which was a pleasant surprise!
We ate food, had a couple of lovely walks, read a bit, talked a great deal...it was relaxing and wonderful, and exactly what I needed after a few stressful work weeks.
Mum and I are hoping to find the time for another trip up there before she goes back to England, but it depends a lot on how busy we all get. Hopefully we'll do it.
