Good for the soul.

I surprised KfW2 by not only staying the night, but not getting a bus early in the morning. But I'm getting ahead of myself. I arrived at KfW2's just after 6 PM. She had a surprise. She'd bought a dog.

I love dogs, and even if I hadn't, this one was gorgeous. An 8-week old cockapoo. And you know? Dogs love me. So it took little time for the doggo to decide I was awesome and want lots of pets and cuddles from me, much to KFW2's kids' chagrin.

It was nice seeing KfW2 again. It was great to chat, to have a proper conversation with someone who wasn't family. Mr KfW2 came home from work and the conversation and beer flowed until well after 1 AM.

I could have gone home, but the return to home instinct wasn't there. I think there were two main reasons: firstly I had zero thing to do today and secondly, with the upcoming week being a week off work, Sunday's time wasn't a precious resource.

So I stayed over. It's something I only do maybe 1 in 10 times, and mostly due to the above. But also due to not sleeping well in a strange bed. And I didn't sleep well. My fitness watch told me that was the worst night's sleep I've had since I started tracking my sleep a couple of months back.

However, KfW2 made up for that by cooking yummy pancakes for breakfast with plenty of hot coffee. I chilled with her kids for a few hours, watching a film, then it was time to come home while they went shopping. And I'm just back in the house, nearly 24 hours after leaving last evening.
