...thoroughly enjoyable Sundays can be.
Today I slept in till 9:30, the time church starts at our ward. Got the bookkeeping out of the way; annual accounts for the Companies House are due Sep 30 and it looks like I'm just going to make it.
Sat outside with a Cuban cigar and played a board game with my youngest. Then I worked in my garden a bit in the autumn sun. Nothing heavy, just removing some fallen leaves, picking old flowers and adding a little fertilizer here and there.
Then I had another cigar, Nicaraguan this time. The sun kept peeking through the fall clouds. Had a cup of coffee. Cigar + coffee + whisky = great combo but I was too lazy to get up and get the whisky. An 18 yo Coal Ila would have been perfect.
The sound of my oldest daughter's violin practice drifted through the window into the garden; she's playing a melancholy Irish folk song.
Took an afternoon stroll with DW and dropped off a package in the mailbox. Picked up our youngest from the park behind our house where she played all day with kids from the neighbourhood.
We all had a very agreeable dinner where I told stories of how we used to harvest wheat when I was a kid.
Watched some TV, played some piano and now I'm off to bed. The alarm will sound at 5:15 but I don't mind. Having just enjoyed a relaxing two-day weekend gives me enough energy to last another week. Three years out and every weekend is still like a gift. Will I ever get used to it? I hope not...
