When I was little, one of my favourite books, was called '5 Minutes Peace'. All I can remember about it, is it was about a family of hippos and all the mother wanted was 5 minutes of peace. I don't think I really realised, at the age of 6, how brilliant 5 minutes peace is, when you lead a hectic life. Now I do. And I'm enjoying it. :)

I arrived back in Swansea yesterday, but my housemates and many of my friends don't get back till tomorrow. This means I've have 24 hours of 'me time'. Until now, I hadn't really felt like I had stopped. Life was crazy, right up till the end of term. Then I went home, and did all the pre-Christmas stuff there. Before heading down south and cramming in as many relatives as possible in less than a week. These past 24 hours, have been great.

Time to lie in this morning. Time to do washing - and space to hang it! Time to watch TV. Time to go shopping - for me! Time to relax. Don't get me wrong, I love being around my friends and I am looking forward to our party tomorrow night. But it is also great to have the time and space to have 5 minutes peace.
