I went to bed at 11.45, oops. Got up at seven anyway and did my complete morning routine. And wrote my morning pages about the things I wanted to think about. I had made a note the day before.
There was breakfast and the usual internet rounds, dishes and such, some time with my husband and then we went off to the beer garden. Second time this month.
Riding our bikes there took 3 minutes longer both there and back, no idea why. It did feel like the wind was coming from the front both ways and it was pretty hot.
Beer garden food is not very exciting (one of the reasons why the boy doesn’t like going) but I did drink a ‚real‘ beer again. The non-alcoholic one doesn’t really taste that good.
This is the view from where I sat:
Everything was great, we talked and then I started talking about my book and the blurb because it was on my mind but my husband was just I the middle of talking about friendship problems. Oops. That’s what happens when I drink in the heat, problems with impulse control.
Husband was miffed and we talked about how I had started a new topic before the appropriate time the whole way back.
Back home the boy had just gotten out of bed and made himself a frozen pizza, we talked a bit, I played some games and read a little (I started „Strange Practice“ the day before.
That would usually be the part where I want to clean but end up just sitting there for ages. Just when I was about to get up (I had already put my hair up) my husband showed up again, more talking, but then I got through a little more than half the cleaning list.
Husband was cooking apple sauce in the annex and when I was about to start vacuuming the room he was doing that in we found that a) the floor was wet in places and b) vacuuming around the apple sauce making process was a dumb idea. So I just vacuumed the old part of the house and called it good enough.
I ate cheese toast for dinner, there was more talking with husband and then some more, I started ripping out a sweater I had started and didn’t like because I think I want to make the yarn into something else, I did Duolingo, started writing this post (more talking with husband), made myself a nice cup of tea and watched TV while knitting.
Today there will be the second half of cleaning, probably more talking, maybe a walk and I really hope I can avoid the Saturday slump.
