Actually a very good day if different than expected

Since I’m writing this around noon the next day I don’t remember everything but who cares.

My husband talked a lot in the morning, I managed to vacuum the house just before dinner and spent many hours playing silly games on my iPad. I have since set a limit for time on social media and certain games on my iPad, maybe that will make a difference.

I started making a packing list for our upcoming trip.

Lunch was very good, with two courses even:

My husband had marinated the carrots two days ago and they were superb and eating fresh cucumber directly from the vine is also – chef’s kiss!

And there were tagliatelle with bolognese sauce:

In the evening the boy and I agreed to watch the first half of „Dune 2“ together (no way are we watching a 166 minute-movie in one sitting if we can help it), and then I went out to get some emergency ice cream because we needed a second pint of ice cream so we could do the same thing again tonight. Of course. I also had a beer.

So walking to the nearby supermarket was my exercise, ahem.

We watched the film and really like it, though I felt the start was a bit slow. But then it is based on the second book in a trilogy, no wonder it has that saggy middle feel.

Then I watched the second episode of “Miss Day and Night“. I am really enjoying it so far. It won’t help me with learning Chinese but well – shrugs.

I had been hoping to get back on track today but so far I skipped the morning routine, it is really, really hot, even indoors, and my energy is waning already.

I am very determined to set a timer for breaks today, though. And I really, really want that skirt to be done by Tuesday. Preferably without actually sewing it but that won’t work for sure.
