hawkwing_lbFirst there was sleeping until noon, which is in fact normal for me unless I have places to be. Then there was laundry. A lot of laundry. Then I minor-league-cleaned the toilet.
Then the parent arrived home, and we went off to the Naul for a lunch. Roast turkey and other tasty things. To be honest, it was more of a dinner...
Afterwards there was sunlight, and a walk on a beach, wading across a stream to walk south to a field growing soya beans, briefly barefoot on grass. The parent used me as a stepladder and general support, climbing down some rocks. Home, and companionable yoga, and I cooked dinner (supper, for me) and scrubbed a grotty pot shiny with a wire brush and sweat. And then I sat in an armchair and read and snacked on toast and smoked salmon.
I need to remember to value the small moments.
I may take tomorrow off from thesis and gym, in favour of getting more of the small stuff done. We'll see.
