It had a bit of a lazy start, when I woke up and lay in bed catching up on my facebook reading, but once I was up and about, I found quite a bit of energy.
After he pumped up the tyres on my trike, which were in desperate need of some air, Adoring Husband and I both rode down to the Seat of Knowledge. It's amazing how much easier it is to ride when the the tyres are pumped up!
We sat with the boys for a while and then AH went on ahead and ordered our coffee, then I joined him to sit outside the local shops for a while .. chatted with a few different locals who strolled past and then AH bought some raffle tickets to support a local sporting teenager, while I shopped for some strawberries and avocados for tonight's dessert.
We pedalled home and made a big plate of bacon, eggs, mushrooms and toast and read the local paper over breakfast.
AH then headed out to the man's shed in the back yard, while I did some washing and then I gathered my study materials and headed out to the garden swing to do some reading. After about 2 hours, I lay down and made myself comfortable with Ruby (my favourite psychotic dog) and had a little nap.
The chickens chased the other dogs around the garden, woke me up by trying to peck my toes and then we discovered that the other two psychotic dogs had been rolling in the chook poo in the yard! Charming! So up I got and started the bathing process .. gave them a bit of a haircut while I was there too.
By now it was 3pm, so I thought I would get dessert started. It needed time to set for dinner. Unfortunately those lovely looking strawberries that I'd purchased were all mouldy, so I found the receipt and pedalled to the shops to swap them for a fresher punnet .. but of course, ALL of the punnets were mouldy! Ugh!
I bought myself a coffee and compromised with the fruit by buying some frozen raspberries.
Of course I had to check out the river before I headed home. The tide was out and there were lots of birds about. This Whistling Kite dived down towards the boat ramp, but missed whatever it was aiming for, so I didn't get the magic shot.
It was after 4pm by the time I got home, so I spent 30 minutes on study, brought in the washing and started dinner ... smoked cod with white parsley sauce, potato/sweet potato mash w raw onion and broccoli.
In the end, I couldn't do dessert because the avocado weren't ripe enough, so they are now in a paper bag with banana in the dark cupboard. They should be ready by tomorrow afternoon, so I'll try again.
AH was in bed before 8pm and I've watched two games of footy - three from three in the footy tipping this week wahoo!
It's only 9.45pm and I think I'll climb into bed .. fresh clean sheets are calling my name. There is nothing nicer than sliding in between crisp, fresh, clean sheets.
The forecast is for showers tomorrow, so it will be nice to wake up to the sound of rain. Fingers crossed.
A most satisfactory day.
Nite all.
