Ah…. Sunday!

Our Sundays don’t often resemble what I consider to be a Sunday. We are often rushing about, or finishing jobs, doing DIY or something of that nature. But today? We had a run out into the country this morning, stopped off at a café and had a cuppa and a bite to eat before a leisurely drive home again.

The drive out, of course, was necessitated by the leaving-behind of my coat at the Fig and Favour on Friday. So we made an effort to get up at a reasonable time and make the journey. Once we got there, we naturally fancied a coffee. Then we looked at the menu and were seduced by the offer of American pancakes smothered in maple syrup and served with a compote of berries. Well, I was, anyway. John simply ordered a croissant.

But look’ee here! A photo of me at the café wearing my Grace Kelly’s……….

Home again, and I encouraged John to try on his wedding clobber. Paul had very kindly come over yesterday to bring some nice shirts and ties for John to try on and see if anything was suitable. And there was. We have kitted the ol’ man out now, so I was able to take the shirts and ties back to Paul this afternoon.

I left John watching the Grand Prix and spent an hour at Paul’s. I might have stayed longer but there was a football match that he was keen to watch so, just before the four o’clock kick-off, it was kicking-out time. I am not sure where he will have watched the match as he doesn’t have Sky and local Leisure Club wasn’t showing it. Perhaps he went to the pub.

John had finished watching the Grand Prix and wasn’t that fussed about watching the footie, so he got the steps out and some guttering equipment, and went outside to have a go at shoring up the gutter above the kitchen. Meanwhile, I made pie for our tea…..

Ah, yes! A Sunday: a drive in the country; a visit to relatives; the Sunday papers and pie (or roast, but not today) – how nice was all that?

Take care everyone. God bless – and watch out for Monkeypox now, which is beginning to spread. Crikey, you couldn’t make it up, could you???
