Some Peace

Today was Thursday.

The day before Easter.

Adoring Husband's golf day.

Morning tea with the art girls.

I had agreed to go to morning tea but while I was playing with Harley in the pool area, I lost all motivation. It was such a lovely day with a cooler temperature, the sun shining, a breeze blowing, the birds singing, the bees buzzing around the passionfruit flowers and the pool water reflecting beautiful Autumn light...

So I messaged the girls and told them I was unmotivated to leave my space. 

BGWLBH suddenly appeared, all dressed up, and said "Enjoy your quiet day" as she walked out the door.

At 10.15am, I received a voice message from The Happy Hippy to tell me that she had brought pumpkins from her garden and to get my butt down to the Lions Park because it was a beautiful day.

So I said goodbye to AH, climbed on my trike and pedalled down to the park, where four of the girls were still gathered around a picnic table.

As we sat there, the fishing club were setting up for the big Easter Fishing Classic Competition, which isn't supposed to start until Saturday. It was a hive of activity.

We chatted for about 45 minutes, I purchased some fresh fish and prawns from the seafood van, picked up two pumpkins from The Happy Hippy's car, then pedalled to the shops to get a few things and check the mail, then rode home.

The house was empty, so I let Harley inside, unpacked my small bag of groceries and made myself comfortable on the couch to watch an old Charlie's Angels movie.

After I played with Harley this afternoon, I chopped up a heap of vegetables to roast in the oven. Potato, sweet potato, pumpkin, carrot, red capsicum, red onion and tomato. I sprinkled them with garlic salt, drizzled a little honey over the top and put them in a hot oven.

I made a tahini and lemon dressing to drizzle over the vegetables.

I cooked duck breast and sliced it over the vegetables - oh and added pine nuts, goats cheese, spinach leaves and sliced cooked mushrooms to the mix.

We played trivia afterwards and AH and I watched the football. Very happy that St George won. Only AH and I picked them so I am now 2 points further ahead in the tipping comp and AH has moved off the bottom of the ladder!

Now it's time to sleep.

Nite all.
