Your Sunday Morning

Sunday's. Wasn't it once the day of rest?

Sunday morning is perhaps the most active for me as I do the weekly shop. Sunday afternoon is my time to relax.

I took one Sunday a couple of weeks ago completely off and didn't really do anything, just watched a bunch of youtube, read a bit, etc. And I didn't really like it all that much. I realized I prefer being more active and doing something more useful with my time. Was pretty happy when Monday arrived and I actually had stuff to do. I guess I'm going to do a few chores and focus on my hobbies on weekends and reserve evenings for watching movies and pedicures and other self-care stuff.

So 11.30 my time ...Im washed, dressed, Ive been out with the dogs Ive put the dishwasher on and had breakfast. Now Im skyping with mum...

Like every day, I had my shower. I am wearing my vintage dress today: it is gorgeous. I have put on a load of laundry and am airing out my apartment. I have been browsing the Internet, which I do daily anyway.

I've been on Ello.com: it is like Instagram, except it isn't commercialized. The artwork and photos are more vintage. It isn't a well known website, but it IS popular. I have 1.8 pins on Ello. I found Ello when searching on Google for similar websites to Facebook. I soon realized no website can replace Facebook. And I mean that seriously. I've tried looking, but nothing compares.

Back to my Sunday: I am going over to my sister's house for lunch and dinner today. I certainly keep busy!

That's sensible!

Our Sunday morning was pretty much our usual routine. The boys have videos that originally come from Think Orange, an organisation that creates church videos that are quite fun and creative in their way of teaching. The church that we view them from adds some of their own content and it's not quite up to the same level, but it can be good too. Anyway, my boys really enjoy themselves and we get to discuss a little together as well.

After that, we have a snack and then exercise. There are usually lots of wiggles to work out by then. I only deal with the hyperactivity for a little while longer, though, because they spend most Sunday afternoons with their dad, allowing me to relax on my own!

Getting ready for my Sunday morning long walk.

We went to the farmers market this morning, it was not as good as pre-pandemic.

Now I am looking at houzz while waiting for this girl to come over to check out my couches, she wants to buy them.

And the roast dinner went extremely well!

We had roast chicken with brocolli, carrots and spinach. We had bread sauce and gravy, too. I definitely enjoyed my Sunday dinner! We ate mini cheesecakes for dessert, which were lovely. I do have a terrible sweet tooth.

Sunday went very well! We started in the kitchen at around 2pm and didn't finish until 5:30pm. But I am glad I took the time and effort to help out. I could not have left it all to my sister.

Those are nice Annie. You must have a large living room for those.

We ditched the couch here a couple years ago, and now buy floor cushions similar to this one on Wayfair: www.wayfair.com/decor-pillows/pdp/east-urban-home-lisa-argyropoulos-floor-pillow-eunh2842.html

So comfortable, and easy to move around for whatever we're doing in our living room. Who needs to sit on chairs or couches while they've got rambunctious boys?

I have had my daily shower. I have put on a load of laundry, too. I have opened the windows, just to let air in. I do like my apartment to have a lot of fresh air circulating.

I am browsing the Internet. I always do, anyway! I simply could not live without my computer and definitely need the Internet. Years ago I used my computer for fun: now it is an necessity. I just hope this is always so.
