1 Oops, a late start... a Saturday lie-in is a treat (Note special vibrating alarm clock for deaf person assumes person also blind... has numbers 2 inches high) 2 First cup of tea is the best! 3 Yup, it's rainin' 4 Breakfast: Puffed rice, some of 'Betsy's granola' (she's a star, that girl!) and some juice 5 Shower, wash hair, paint toenails 6 Load the washing machine 7 Get the Marigolds on and clean the bathroom 8 Wrap gift for a friend 9 Change bedding; love the way it looks all clean and love even more sliding into clean sheets at bedtime 10 Still rainin' 11 Lunch: homemade mushroom soup, ciabatta with blue cheese and more tea 12 Off to help celebrate a friend's retirement 13 Sneaked a peek inside the church where friend has been vicar for 25 years 14 Wishing you a long & happy retirement, Gordon & Lis 15 Negotiating the Bradford inner ring road (the lovely old building opposite is the Paper Hall, the oldest house in Bradford, built in 1640) - note sudden but short-lived blue sky 16 More traffic lights 17 Supermarket shop on the way home 18 Sit down with a cup of frothy coffee and a chapter of my book 19 Take out trash and check how the garden looks after all that rain 20 Watch tea-time TV News 21 Catch up on the ironing 22 What's for dinner?

That was great fun! A busy day.
ReplyDeleteOH this was so much fun! Now I see why I got a good response to mine...it really is a delight to see simple chores turned into art. I'm happy to see my granola, too! Mmmmm!
ReplyDeleteYour toenails look marvelous!
And I agree...slipping inbetween fresh sheets at night is one of the best feelings!
A busy day. Where was the nap?
ReplyDeleteHardly a chance to pause for breath, but not a moment wasted. Nice post.
ReplyDeleteFunny and great post! That shows that even during days "off", we, women, are very busy!!
ReplyDeleteAfter having read all this I am breathless and have to rest !
ReplyDeleteI too have a Saturday fun post.
I suppose it was a busy day but it didn't feel rushed, quite leisurely really. No time for a nap, Jack! (But I do sometimes doze off for a few minutes on a weekday when I get home from work, I confess!)
ReplyDeleteWhat a super idea and your photo montage turned out wonderfully, Jenny! Loved each and every moment captured. I do hope you'll do this again sometime :)
ReplyDeleteFun post, and thanks for the new (for me)British colloquialism - Marigolds, eh? Jim
ReplyDeleteWhat a clever idea. I may give this a try sometime (though I'd have to work out how to create a montage first - without access to Photo Shop). It would be FUN to do a day in the life of the New Wine Control Office, but I don't honestly think I'd find the time!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun idea... and well executed, Jenny...!
ReplyDeleteThis is such a neat idea for when you are out of a post and I really enjoyed seeing your day! I'll have to remember this when I'm in a pinch.
ReplyDeleteThis is brilliant! What a very clever idea, perfect for a rainy day with no photos. Well done.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun post! I enjoyed catching a glimpse of a typical weekend day for you. ~Lili
