Steamer Memories

I got a good nights sleep and woke at 6.30am.

I watched the end of a disappointing Presidents Cup (golf). The Internationals played very poorly in the final round.

I took Harley out to play for about 45 minutes and when I came inside, BGWLBH had set up the ironing board to do her large pile of ironing. 

She usually does my ironing too, but MY pile was HUGE, so I decided to set up my old steamer from when I had the shop and do it myself. I think I had about 32 items, but I gave up at 24.

Steaming is much easier than ironing!

By then, it was 11.30am and I was hungry!

I took my washing off the line and placed it carefully on my bed before preparing some food. Adoring Husband had to go to the supermarket, so I put in my order for a small lactose free latte.

We watched an oldie but a goodie on the Classics channel - “To Catch a Thief” with Carey Grant and Grace Kelly made in 1955! I enjoyed it very much.

I did a big declutter from my wardrobe before hanging my freshly steamed clothes. I folded my washing and put it away. That was enough productivity for one day … except for cooking dinner.

BGWLBH got chicken schnitzel and AH and I had crispy skinned salmon with garden salad, buttery potatoes and wombok salad. I made an avocado, mango, pine nut and goats cheese salad for myself. Yum.

That was it for me.

I have meditation early tomorrow so it’s time for sleep.

Nite all. 

Footy Fever

It’s Sunday.

I woke up quite early this morning and immediately turned on the Presidents Cup Golf. I’d already missed a lot of it, but I enjoyed watching the Internationals make a comeback to keep well ahead of USA on the points board.

I took Harley out to play at 8.30am for about an hour, before making myself some GF crumpets for breakfast. Adoring Husband drove to the shops to get coffee for us all.

We watched a replay of the golf until midday when I decided that my bed was calling me.

I did some art while watching or listening to two Mayim Bialik podcasts and then part of an interview with Diary of a CEO.

Then the preliminary NRL final between Newcastle Knights and Penrith Panthers came on at 4pm.

The score was 6-6 at the 35 minute mark when Nathan Cleary was awkwardly tackled and suffered a compound fracture and dislocation of his ankle and lower leg. It was nasty.

The Knights player who tackled him was sent off for the rest of the game, so The team had to play the entire rest of the match one man down. While the Panthers had a full team on the field, they were without their leader and play maker.

I had tipped the Knights to win, but at that point I lost all hope for them, because Penrith were the minor premiers AND have years of experience playing in these pressure finals matches. Also, just last year, Knights were the wooden spooners!

Who’d have thunk that Knights would fight so hard and end up winning 22-14. What a brilliant game with an emotional finish.

It was easy spaghetti Sunday.

Now I’m watching The Voice finale from my bed.

Nite all.
