Lots of omninous thunder, stark flashes of lightning and the marvellous sound and smell of rain - every day. We stayed at a friend's house with views like this... 
We did walks around the lake and I dreamt of wind-blown galleons in full flight.
I played lots of Civilisation IV and indulged my fantasy of taking over the world; Levor played lots of Galactic Civilisations and indulged his fantasy of taking over the universe. There were many glorious victories.
And I ate chocolate every single day. (I only eat chocolate on Sundays). It was an excellent week.
Now we're back in reality. We aren't in control of our own world. There is no lake outside our window. And it's four whole days till I can eat chocolate again.

We watched the film "Jindabyne" on the weekend. Very DARK. Glad you got to have a break, and conquer various parts of the universe while you were at it!
Gee I reckon a week playing Civ IV would be wonderful. I do get rather annoyed that every time you start a religion you feel obligated to keep the city it started in and become a pluralist. The very small missionary in me wants my whole civilisation to be just one thing...grrrr!
