Sunday – another day of rest

Despite the fact that we put the clocks forward overnight and missed an hour of sleep, I didn’t feel too bad this morning. I got up, popped up to the shops to buy one or two bits and pieces, then came home and cooked us a lovely breakfast.

What was particularly delightful was that John joined me downstairs in the dining room to eat, too. It gave me a proper ‘feelgood’ factor.

After we’d eaten, I watched the church service online. I had thought I may go to church in person this morning, as the Bishop was in attendance, but I decided not to rush about in the end. It was a lovely service and I enjoyed it, singing my heart out to myself on my own in the computer room.

Meanwhile, John was beavering away in the kitchen trying create some kind of order in it. It was marvellous to come down to some clear work surfaces!

While I was upstairs, I took a call from Paul who said that he and Freddie would call in. Nice. I went downstairs to tell John, who told me that he’d been talking to Michael and had promised we’d go over to give advice on some DIY that he was doing. Ah…….

In the end, we stayed at home, for which I was grateful. I am still trying to pace myself and we seem to have had a very hectic week!

Paul arrived, with a purpose in mind. Hehehe. John now has a fitness regime to follow, with a personal video of Paul doing a demo, to boot.

Freddie and I messed about, but quietly, which suited me just fine. In the talk of exercises, Grandpa happened to mention that I’d got some ‘exercise putty’ to use for my arthritic hands. “Please can I see it Grandma?” asked Freddie. I brought it down and he promptly had great fun with it….. even creating an elephant in the room! Honestly, he is such a joker. Makes us giggle all the time.

After Paul and Freddie left, we spent a very happy hour reading the newspaper that I’d bought as a treat, and watching the Boat Race. Great excitement in both the men’s and the women’s races, wasn’t it? The right crews won, in my opinion…..

It’s been a relaxing day and I think we have both enjoyed it. Looking forward to another relaxing one tomorrow.

Take care everyone. God bless.
