Uneventful But Rewarding

I have nothing today. No angst, no banality, no humour. It was a normal Saturday. Chat with my new best friend on MSN cos Skype was being obstreperous. Had coffee in the sunshine with my sister and watched her feed my horses *got her well trained*. Took the dog for a run. Tested the electric collar since ThePrincess has started forming relationships with the builders up the back again (Chris is very nice . . well muscled, polite and tanned so had a little fantasy to boot!) Did more washing than a family of three should ever generate. Cleaned my house and the fridge - didn't mean to but the discovery of a wizened shallot led to Pandora's box so the bleach and a complete overhaul was called for. Apparently you can't keep Pesto for 3 years. Listened to the radio while I pottered about. Popped up to the shop to buy some smoked salmon and green prawns for a nice risotto for dinner. Hired The Shooter for 'ron and now . . .time to crack a bottle. It's been a sad week for three people close to me so sometimes amid this mess of illness, bad surprises, despair, anger, frustration and hardship . . . the most uneventful off days are the most rewarding.

    We all need simple 'dull' days now and them.

    I like the new spring cleaned look.

  2. Why thank you. Yep, it was a good day. Ornary but satisfying. Saw you on Skype but when I came to chat, you'd scarpered! I wish there was an award for loyal commenters . . you're the 'bomb' as the kids would say!

  4. Haha found you. Skype's had some 'software' problems for about 72 hours. Lovely to message you. Talk to me any time. The "Away" bit is just a ruse! I'm always watching. (sad but true)
