Spring Like Sunday

This is the tree full of blossoms outside our place, and after yesterday when it was cloudy and raining throughout the day, today blossomed with sunny skies and warm breezes.  So mum did not want to laze around in bed too long, she got up and popped some washing out on the line.  Towels and sheets always are better having warm fresh air to dry them. 

Mum then headed off for a Sunday walk in town.  She is excellent skills at procrastinating and so had to go and use up a voucher that had only 2 days before it expired.  Her work friends had given it as a gift after her father died, so she did not want to waste it and got herself something pretty that she will enjoy.  

A small visit to a cafe for a bite as she had some hanger pangs as she walked around.  She finds it challenging sometimes to eat out alone, but luckily there are lots of cafes around and plenty of other people by themselves that she doesn't feel too out of place.  A quick visit to the library and then time to head home and relax for the afternoon.

Mum made herself a nice dinner - some roasted sweet potatoes, broccoli and carrots and some roasted lamb followed by grapes got her enough servings of fruit and vegetables for the day.  Good on you mum.

So now as the evening draws to a close we are snuggling on the couch thinking about the nice weekend we got to share together and hope we get a good week ahead. We hope you have enjoyed your weekend too.

  4. The nights here are downright chilly, which is unusual in August. It seems like your spring is coming early while our autumn is doing the same.
