A Gentle Friday

While BGWLBH worked at the Crafty Bee today, Adoring Husband and I had a very lazy, unproductive day at home.

I woke at 6.30am and turned on the TV to watch the PGA golf championship. I had watched it the night before until about midnight, so I caught the final 2 hours of round one.

I was out of bed by 9.15am for Harley play and I watered my garden. I also wrapped the newly formed tomatoes in their protective bags.

Leftover sausage rolls were my breakfast.

I watched the second half of a movie that I’d started to watch on Thursday. I watched the first episode of the new series of Great Pottery Throwdown and before my quiz shows started, I watched the end of the movie playing on the same channel.

I made more sausage rolls with the leftover meat mixture from Wednesday night and I had them for dinner, sharing with BGWLBH.

AH had Thursday nights leftovers …

Chicken pieces coated in soy, honey and chilli, with roasted potato, capsicum, carrot, onion and tomato, topped with crumbled goats cheese, pine nuts, parsley and steamed beans

I didn’t taste it, but I’m told that apart from the chicken being a bit dry, it tasted delicious. I may have overcooked the chicken a touch. Bugger.

Tonight I was in bed ready to watch the football at 6pm, have watched both games and will now fall asleep with the golf in the background.

I have no plans for tomorrow. There is lots that I’d like to do, like:

• My washing
• Clean my ensuite
• Vacuum my bedroom
• Mop the hallway
• Wash the big glass sliding doors
• Rebound with my hand weights
• Start my budget diary
• Make some jewellery
• Do more of my seahorse art
• Tidy my dressing table
• Clean the cage of my pedestal fan

I could add more to that list, but we all know that my motivation level will be low enough to do very few, if any of the chores or activities on that list!

Sleep time for me now.

Nite all.

The Midweek Plan

A day in the bay, running an errand for Adoring Husband and doing the usual running around at the butcher, baker, seafood, newsagent, green grocer, juice bar and supermarket.

Home by around 2pm.

I spent the afternoon preparing home made sausage rolls. Full of finely diced celery, carrot, onion, spinach, capsicum, garlic, pork sausage mince, beef mince, salt, pepper, egg and breadcrumbs. Lots of flavour inside with delicious puff pastry covered in sesame seeds. Delicious!

We played trivia and were again, all in bed before 7.30pm.

I’ve spent the evening in bed watching YouTube videos of John Edward. It almost feels like I have my mum with me. She LOVED John Edward. It’s been a long time since I felt the “mum connection” so it’s been nice.

The time is rapidly approaching midnight, so it’s time for me to sleep.

Nite all.

Delayed Catch Up

I had an excellent night of sound sleep, but it was still difficult to get out of bed this morning.

Needless to say, I was a touch late for meditation.

It was a small class but it held a lot of value and the feedback was positive and inspiring.

The weather was not conducive to sitting by the river for our promised catch up so we booked a ZOOM meeting for midday and then spent 3.5 hours sitting on our own beds talking our heads off, solving the world’s spiritual problems and advising each other on how to reach our own next spiritual level.

I love our long chats.

BGWLBH decided to head into the bay for the day.

I made fried rice with garlic, lemon, butter barramundi for dinner.

We played trivia for an hour and again, were all in bed before 7.30pm.

I have nothing planned for tomorrow, which is a good thing, because I rarely follow through with my plans haha.

Now it’s time to sleep.

Nite all.

Another Lazy One

We had some patchy rain today and a couple of short, sharp showers that were so heavy, we had to increase the volume on the TV.

Before I got out of bed, I watched the end of the final round of the golf tournament that I’ve been following. None of my favourites were among the front runners, so I didn’t stay up late and only turned it on at 6am to watch the final hour.

I got out of bed earlier than usual to wash my hair, play with Harley for 40 minutes and then make some breakfast.

I then parked my butt on the couch for the rest of the day!

A couple of fluffy Netflix movies, my quiz shows and I made stir fry vegetables with rice for dinner. Adoring Husband got bonus steamed beef dim sims on his plate. Leftover trifle for dessert.

That was my day. It was lazy and indulgent and just the way I like my days.

Meditation early tomorrow, so it’s time to sleep.

This is Harley with his butt on the arm of AH’s chair and his head on the arm of my chair.

Nite all.

Unfulfilled Plans

I thought that I might spend part of my weekend in the art room making jewellery or finishing some acrylic art paintings that have been waiting very patiently for me to return to them.

While the idea seemed appealing, my motivation and enthusiasm was less than energised.

On Saturday, I watched the new Netflix movie with Sally Field called “Remarkably Bright Creatures”.

I LOVED it - needed tissues - I adore Sally Field as an actor. I also adore octopuses, one of which played a main role in the movie. I highly recommend this one.

Otherwise, football and golf took a lot my attention.

I missed 2 games in my footy tipping. I’m very annoyed that I changed one tip at the last minute and shouldn’t have, but I am, however, in the lead by 2 points now.

The golf is being played in USA, so it’s not even televised until around 10pm - I leave the TV on with the volume on low, all night, so that I can doze on and off and see the live scores each time I wake up.

I admit, it’s not very restful and I have felt quite weary all weekend because of it, but I do enjoy the golf, especially when my favourites, Adam Scott, Jason Day, Rory McIlroy, Tommy Fleetwood and Cam Young are playing.

Today, I made a trifle with BGWLBH’s leftover birthday cake. Raspberry jelly, custard, sliced peaches, fresh strawberries, whipped cream and chopped pecans sprinkled on top. It was delicious.

I received phone calls from Number One Son and Bubbles for Mother’s Day and a text from Vegan Chickie. Adoring Husband bought me a lovely plant. My best Mother’s Day for a number of years!

Easy spaghetti bolognese from the freezer for dinner.

We did play some trivia and were all in bed before 7.30pm.

I think I’ll sleep well tonight.

Nite all.
