It was an indulgently lazy day for me and I enjoyed every minute of it!
I was up before 8am and took my tea and Harley out to the pool area to play. When I returned inside, I discovered Adoring Husband looking like he'd just watched "The Notebook" for the first time - his eyes were red and puffy and his mouth was all downturned - I looked at him and he said "I'm sick. Nausea and stomach pain."
So in my caring, loving inimitable style, I replied "Best go back to bed ... and take a bucket with you."
It's ok. He was up by lunch time and planted firmly in front of the TV watching, firstly, the darts, followed by the NRL Preseason Games.
I know how well he was feeling because he ate a lamb rack, a pile of sweet potato wedges and regular potato wedges and a large stir fry of green beans, snow peas, capsicum, zucchini, mushroom, tomato wedges and shallots. He also went back for seconds.
I had a phone call at 10am with The Gypsy. It lasted for 2.5 hours. No zooming because she was having trouble with her internet connection.
After the first footy game, I lay down on my bed with Harley and we napped for an hour or so.
We had an afternoon play before I cooked the dinner that I mentioned above.
I purchased the lamb rack from the butcher at Pialba Place and it was lovely and tender and full of flavour. I haven't been happy with our local butcher for some time. The meat has been tough and most of his produce is prepared in advance with different flavoured marinades, of which I am not a fan. I prefer to make my own marinades with fresh ingredients.
However, it's great to have a local butcher for emergencies so we'll continue to buy our chicken wings, Harley mince and I do like their fat pork sausages!
MAFS was juicy tonight!
Now I'm going to do some more work on my book/journals/affirmation cards.
Nite all.
