• Getting up early to work while Mr. LA and the children slept.
• Finishing my first Wedding Report. Cannot wait to hear what the clients think. I really hope they love it!
• Sipping tea and eating fried eggs and baked beans.
• Feeling like the only people without snow in the whole country.
• Slowly getting showered and dressed. We seem to be getting lazier every week, but it can be really hard to rush on the only day you don’t have to.
• Wearing Tolu by Ormonde Jayne and being unable to stop sniffing myself. Such a beautiful fragrance.
• Making butternut squash soup for lunch.
• Bundling up and taking a walk into town.
• Wandering round the RAMM. I do so love our little local museum.
• Picking up a few groceries.
• Loving the warmth and cosiness of home.
• Hunkering down under blankets on the sofa to watch a movie.
• Making popcorn.
• Drinking tea and reading.
• Cooking and eating prawn linguine. Again. You know I like a recipe when I make it two weekends in a row!
• Enjoying a colourful salad.
• Reading bedtime stories to Jesse.
• Listening to Izzy read aloud.
• Putting sleepy children to bed.
• Settling down to watch The Graduate with wine and nibbles.
• Remembering just how much I adore this movie.
• Reading until I fell asleep.
• Cuddling in bed with the children.
• Wishing Mr. LA didn’t have to work away for 4 days.
• Managing to get Izzy to her Sunday morning drama class on time.
• Taking Jesse for a hot chocolate in town.
• Browsing the shops.
• Buying books. No Bot is a new favourite. I would highly recommend if you’re shopping for a child around Jesse’s age.
• Spotting a lonely flower in our front garden.
• Collecting Izzy from her class.
• Relishing the fact we had no cause to leave the house until Monday morning.
• Making spaghetti with marmite for lunch. Izzy loves this meal, I think it’s her ultimate comfort food.
• Using every blanket we own to build the children a den.
• Contemplating sneaking off for a snooze myself. The children were so content I didn’t think they’d need me.
• Keeping them well stocked with pop corn and hot chocolate.
• Climbing in for some cuddles.
• Doing chores.
• Missing my husband.
• Making Sunday dinner.
• Laughing at Jesse’s love of pie. He demolished his portion and then stole half of mine. He also drank gravy from the jug like it was juice.
• Surviving bed time on my own.
• Feeling anxious for no obvious reason.
• Distracting myself with Pinterest.
• Retreating to bed.
• Telling myself I’d only read one more chapter about 6 times.
• Finally drifting off to sleep.
