Saturday was about being tired enough to fall asleep over reading, darning and sewing.
The sock is becoming more darn than sock
And the pink jacket is getting its rust colored binding
I've been hearing intermittent squealing noises, wondered if it was hearing aids Ruth and Laura, but found it was Gary using an electric auger to plant his bed of tulips!
As you see, measured out with precision..
Food today was fast, no available energy, lunch roast sweet potato cubes with umami seasoning and olive oil and a fried egg, strawberries and chocolate cherries for dessert. Supper a tuna melt with mozzarella.
Speaking of food, Gary brought over some spicy Indian rice dish he'd been given by a neighbor. He hates to hurt their feelings, though he can't get on with spicy food, accepts it, and passes it on to me. He's more of a chocolate cake person.
I did a lot of resting, after I watered plants upstairs and down, and noted tiny buds starting on the flowering cactus, obliging little plant.
I did find a happy taker for the jacket, too, so there's that.
That's all, folks. Happy day everyone, rest if necessary or unavoidable.
Hmmm, spicy Indian rice. Count me in!
ReplyDeleteYes, it's fine food. I love spicy.
DeleteThat poor sock is almost a total rebuild lol
ReplyDeleteIt’s nice the jacket has found a new home and is still useful
The sock is yarn I spun and knitted, so I value it enough to end up with socks made of patches with small areas of original knitting.
DeleteThe jacket was an expensive name brand, very warm and full of pockets skiers know the purpose of, so I'm glad it's moving on.
Hi Boud -- hope all is well. I've missed visiting! You're lucky to have a neighbor who doesn't care for spicy food and is generous! I'll be spotty checking in for a bit as I've returned to chaos, as you'll see on my blog post, but I did so love my visit to your native land!
ReplyDeleteI hope you got around the north too...that's the best part, though I might be a little biased there! Welcome back.
Delete"He's more of a chocolate cake person" -- hahahahaha, me too. Although I do like a nice biryani every now and then.
ReplyDeleteHe really doesn't go for anything more than salt and pepper, maybe hot dog mustard! But anything chocolate, and he's there.
Delete"tired enough to fall asleep over reading, darning and sewing."
ReplyDeleteDid you really fall asleep all three times? Impressive, if so. 😊
I might like to have that ability for one day.
Yes, literally. Sleeping has never been difficult for me.
DeleteIt is somehow reassuring to know that even you get tired. It is also good to know that you will take the time to rest when you are.
ReplyDeleteGary does love his tools, doesn't he? A trait he shares with many men I know.
I get tired, yes. Yesterday more than usual, probably the emotional impact of an expensive plumbing emergency.
DeleteAny time a tool can be incorporated into a job! I'm more attracted by the install with no tools approach.
that's me when I try to get in a half hour of reading in before I go to bed, nodding off over my book.
ReplyDeleteThe good thing about the Kindle is that it keeps my place when I nod off and it switches off.
DeleteI'm having a day like that too! Gary takes his bulb-planting seriously.
