A 'Proper' Day Off!!

In my grown up job, I work Monday to Thursday & have Friday as my 'day off', but I have to say, Friday's are rarely a REAL 'day off' ... They're usually full of running errands, making appointments that don't fit between work hours & the usual household chores of cleaning & washing clothes. Well ... Today, for the first time in ages ... I'm having a "PROPER" day off. :0)

When my Beloved Geek Boy woke me to say goodbye as he headed off to work, I thought about getting up, but had a rip-roaring headache, so decided to snuggle back down in my cosy double-doona nest & try to sleep off the headache. Two hours later I surfaced again ... Headache gone! YAY! So I decided I was ready to face the day.

It was too late to do any washing ... Sunlight on the washing line hours are limited in winter with all of our big trees & changed angle of the sun ... So I decided to treat myself to a lazy day, starting with a yummy brunch.

MMMMMMMMMMM!! Mashed avocado & fetta on olive sourdough with poached eggs & a good strong mug of plunger coffee. Who needs to go out in the cold to some hipster coffee shop! :0P I then enjoyed a cruise around what my buddy Chookyblue refers to as "the dark side" ... Facebook. :0) ... I'm now checking in with you, my blogging buddies ... & this afternoon I'm going to spend some time playing with fabric, followed by an early HOT shower (after our solar hot water booster threw a small fit earlier in the week, GB found & fixed the problem so our water is again hot rather than luke warm) & enjoy a simple steak & salad dinner with my Sweetie in front of a yet-to-be-decided movie. Now THAT is what I call a "PROPER" day off. :0) What's YOUR definition of a proper day off?? I'd love to know, cos we're all different. :0)

It's the perfect weather to have some time at home at the moment. Yesterday was the first day of winter & boy did it hit with a bang!

This was the temperature in my office when I arrived at work!! BRRRRR!! See why I complain about the cold?!? The office I share with my boss is a 'donger' that was put in place as a temporary office ... About 15 years ago! :0P It has no lining or insulation so is sweltering in summer & an icebox in winter. I'm so NOT looking forward to the next couple of months! SIGH!

Now, the first day of winter also means we're into a new month, so OPAMers ... Have you updated your sidebar lists & emailed your tally for May to me or my GORGEOUS Partner-in-Crime Sweet Peg? Well ... Get hopping! :0) We'll be doing our round up & blog hopping in the next few days. Thanks to those of you who have already emailed ... Much appreciated. :0)

Right ... I think that the next thing on my "Proper" day off agenda is ... Another cuppa! :0) I bet that doesn't surprise you! Tee! Hee! Hee! Whatever you're up to today, I hope you enjoy it & that your weekend is full of fun stuff. Those of you live in the Southern Hemisphere struggling to come to terms with winter, stay warm, & my friends in the north, I hope you enjoy the coming warmth. Til next time ...

BEAR HUGS!

CHEERS!
