The day after....

Not surprisingly perhaps, I am exhausted after our day out yesterday. Chronic health issues (Hughes Syndrome, autoimmune B12 deficiency and Young Onset Parkinson's Disease) do affect my energy levels. So today I have slept a lot.

Breakfast in bed was lovely and very gratefully received but meant I just fell straight back to sleep afterwards, the next thing I knew it was 1pm!

I got up and made us spicy Mexican beans and rice with tacos for a late lunch. I then cleaned the bathroom, did some laundry, watered the houseplants and greenhouse plants and looked over my propogating to see if I have roots coming. I can't garden much these days but potted plants and propogating satisfy my love for gardening.

I then made a chicken curry in case Steve is hungry this evening, if not we can have it tomorrow or I can freeze it. Nothing goes to waste here. 😊

It has been a beautiful sunny day here though I have felt a bit chilly. But a bright and sunny day is to be savoured.

This evening I am going to do some of my tapestry hearts.


I just love playing with the colours and I should miss it, if it ever got finished!

And so that was my day; mundane to many but filled with things that bring me joy and contentment.

  1. How lovely your tapestry is. It's a very calming thing to do. However, I'm still trying to finish one that is at least 20 years old!

    1. What a lovely thing to say, Carrie, thank you. I lose myself in this project, so it does ease stress.
