Whew.. I am tired just reading about
ReplyDeleteyour day.
Mine was definitely slower paced.
A leisurely day at the beach.
Wish I could finish my yard work as
quickly as you... but it takes me
over 4 hours to mow the 5 acres...
You are welcome to cross the big pond
and mow as often as you like.!!
Bet the toast was excellent !!
faye, I envy your relaxed day at the beach :-)
ReplyDeleteOur yard is really small with just a patch of lawn, a patio and loads of pots and container plants, so fairly low maintenance.
You need a mower that you can sit on and drive to mow those 5 acres...or do you already have one? Must be cool to have such a big space to play in ;-)
Toast is good at any time of day!
Gosh your parents stay quite some distance from you. That's what, an hour and a half drive from you?
ReplyDeleteBusy day! I hope your next weekend is a little more chilled.
ReplyDeleteOur weekends lately are very lazy because we can't afford to do anything. Although we do awake at dawn regardless. Every. Single. Day.
Sid - depends on traffic (best to get up and go early!), but on average nearly two hours. I do that trip at least once a month...
ReplyDeleteSaffa - hey! long time no hear...you have a good reason though...the same reason you're up at dawn every day :-)
