I have been very unwell today.
I dragged myself out of bed at 6am to attend The Gypsy’s birthday breakfast at Arkarra Tea Gardens.
Breakfast was not an option for me and I chose a tropical frappe instead.
It was very peaceful and quiet. Even at 10.30am when we left, there were not a lot of people around so I guess everyone was at home in ‘preparation mode’ for Christmas.
We had a lovely, joyful 3.5 hours chatting about life.
Heart of Gold picked me up and she had just returned from a big trip to Western Australia, so she had lots to share.
The Gypsy had just returned from a ten day retreat, so she had lots to talk about.
I’ve been nowhere and done nothing so I had to live vicariously through them.
By the time I got home, I was exhausted. Two nights of poor sleep didn’t help. I fell into bed and slept soundly for two hours, but then woke up and threw up, returned to bed and slept for another hour.
Thankfully, BGWLBH and Adoring Husband were keen to do most of the work for dinner so I provided minimal supervision until dinner was served and I retreated to my bedroom again.
They made a beetroot, cranberry and red cabbage coleslaw, a spinach and roast pumpkin salad, a potato salad and a garden salad to have with the Christmas ham.
I watched Love Actually with my Melbourne family at 7pm (our Christmas tradition), but I watched it on my iPad in bed and alone. Very comfortable and peaceful and by then I was feeling a little better.
I still had a couple of gifts to wrap and put under the tree, which I managed to do after the movie.
Now I think I can easily fall asleep again.
Nite all.
