Ah... rest

I had such a wonderful day today.  Sorry, no pictures to show for it, though.  But, you can paint a picture in your mind - it starts with a bit of laundry - fresh, clean, colourful clothes fluttering in the breeze on the line, the blue sky above, green grass below...

... until it started to rain.  Then paint in your mind a picture of my little house, with damp laundry covering every available surface and hanging from the mosquito net ... fluttering in the ... well, no breeze, because there was no electricity all day.  But it's mostly dry now.

The rest of the day was spent in making good things to eat, eating them, washing the dishes from the making and eating, and watching the last episode of Downton Abbey.  I tried to drag Downton out for as long as possible, because I didn't want to have to say "goodbye" to my "friends" there.  But alas, every good thing must come to an end... and I'm really looking forward to Season 3!   I think I need to start at the beginning and start watching Season 1 again...

But after the long night on Friday, the really long day of teaching yesterday, and a long week of work, and a long two weeks of workshops before that... it was good to lay on my couch for a few hours, together with my cat, and watch a good show.  It was especially nice that it was raining for most of the afternoon, so it was nice and cool, with the sound of the pattering rain drops on the tin roof... quite a perfect Sunday afternoon, if you ask me!
