I can’t think why, but we were all feeling tired today. So much so that unusually, we thought we’d just chill at home and not go rushing about anywhere when we were invited!
So this was us this morning: a very leisurely breakfast (we finally got those bacon butties we were promising ourselves yesterday!), the TV was switched on and we settled down to watch the cricket.
As we watched, Gail and I sifted gently through Mum’s jewellery. All bar a couple of bits, it was costume jewellery and my, did she have a lot of beads!! And earrings. And brooches. Not many rings or bracelets mind you. Graham sifted through some old pennies and French Francs to see if any of them had any value but I don’t think they did – but the farthing looked cute with its little robin on it. I might start a campaign for another coin to depict the robin, I liked it that much……
This afternoon was equally leisurely. We had a spot of lunch and then went back to watching the cricket! It’s certainly interesting to watch when the English contingent are rooting for England, and the Australian contingent are rooting for Australia. We say, ‘Phew! That was a close one!’ as the ball whizzes past the bat and the cricketer is nearly caught out. They say ‘Oh…….bother!’ (or words to that effect) when the video replay shows the ball didn’t actually hit the bat. Hehe.
I was keen for a walk this afternoon, so I left everyone, except Andrew who came with me, on the sofa still cheering on their respective teams.
Andrew and I took the path across the fields over to Moira and Mark’s to return the teapot they’d lent us, and to drop in a memory stick so that Mark can download a copy of the funeral service. I am not quite sure why I’d like a personal copy of the service, but I just do.
We had a really lovely walk. The weather was warm, as was the breeze that helped us on our way. Andrew was very lovely company and I was glad he’d come too.
We had a cuppa at Moira and Mark’s and then set off home again. They are such an amazing couple and made us really welcome, even though they were still planning tomorrow’s café church service!!
Home again and we had ourselves an afternoon tea with cream cakes as we watched the last overs of the day in the cricket. Ah…….and breathe…..
Take care everyone. God bless.
