I have had a lovely day! I know it isn’t over yet but as my dinner is just finishing off in the oven and smelling gorgeous I thought I would share it with you (the day – not the dinner).
It was a rare opportunity to be alone – my daughter went to Alton Towers early this morning with her boyfriend and won’t be back until around 10.30 tonight. Don’t get me wrong I love the company of my family – my son and his wife were here last weekend and my daughter is usually round on her weekend off from her caring job but this was a special event. And sometimes its nice to be alone, I like my own company – we don’t argue…. ever!
To some it would be boring but for me today has been one of self indulgence – nice!! The sixties and seventies music went on and I sang along.
I got the jobs all done early half sorted the dinner, cleaned the bungalow, did the ironing etc. ready for work in the morning.
Then I spent a happy hour in the hot tub….. mindless hot bubbles…. it was amazing….. although, as usual I had to shift Maxie off the top.
After a shower I decided to go through some of the cupboards in my bedroom, I have promised a friend that I will find some photos my Dad took years ago and I just need to remember where I put them when I moved out of the big house to here!
I went through three of the built in cupboards in what we affectionately call ‘the tart’s boudoir’ – cos it looks like one…. and for no other reason!
found lots of interesting things I had forgotten I had, but not the photos. So I gave up for today – but at least I know where they are not lurking!!
Then I answered a few emails and chose my new wordpress theme – nice isn’t it?
Fed the animals and they are very happy and chilled out..
Ahh look at his little pink nose….
And bless her its hard to see the little greyhound by candle and fairylight but, she too, is very chilled out.
And me well currently I am here typing but you can’t see me ‘cos I had to take the picture – no starring roles here..
But now its time to wind this up – I have a lovely chicken dinner to eat (and one to plate up for the day tripper!!) and a film to watch.
Its the little things that count – I have done nothing special but I have had the nicest of days – welcome to my world!!
Now that’s what I call a near perfect day! Love the photos of your chilled out pets and lying in a darkened room always appeals! And love puss’s pink nose. Take it that was Maxie.

Oh yes Anne – that is my Max – seven years old and very loved – I got him from the RSPCA after he’d been abandoned. He’s broken his rear leg and his owner couldn’t afford the vets bill – so he became mine. The greyhound is my daughter’s and is now terrified of Max although she used to chase him when we first got her last December. How the tables turn eh? x
Ahhh, now that sounds very perfect – but you didn’t tell me what you cooked!! Hippie looks gorgeous all scrunched up like that too x
English Mum´s last blog post..Bounty Cake: a coconut cake with chocolate buttermilk icing
Well EM if I go into all the dinner bit – it would be a whole new blog – suffice to say it was roast chicken and garlic and herb sausage meat with some lovely vegetable mixtures. Then the chicken carcass was boiled for this weeks Hippie stock that she likes on her greyhound and lurcher kibble! No waste here!!x
Ah, the sausagemeat competition – we must challenge again at some point! 🙂

Sounds like a great day! I love to have time to myself just to be alone. I don’t usually end up getting much done though!
