My wife suggests that I take it easy today, to recover from my busy day yesterday. I don’t need to be told twice, and so I’m taking it easy for most of the day, while my wife clears up the birthday cake fallout in the kitchen, does the laundry and generally straightens things out in our little cottage.
This afternoon we walk down to the allotment to do some weeding and hoeing, and harvest some spinach, kale, courgettes (zucchini) and raspberries. We are only down there for an hour, but it exhausts me completely – I expect I’ll be aching for the next couple of days.
We finished watching all 10 seasons of Friends on Netflix the other evening so, just for a change, we spend the evening doing a jigsaw puzzle – it’s been years and years since I did one, and it made a refreshing change from sitting in front of the telly.
