A rest day

Written by a 72 year old Retired female from Banbury, Oxfordshire.

Sunday 12th September Rest “at home” day (missed 10.30 church service) because really busy week (not one but two dinner invitations!). So read Saturdays ‘Times’ in bed with a cuppa then decided – as the sun still shone – to spend another couple of hours preparing my flower garden for winter.

Popped a chicken in the oven to roast and removed plants from 4 hanging baskets. Watered my neighbours garden (on holiday for a fortnight). Finished preparing lunch (fresh summer beans and new potatoes from my sisters garden) & dinned alone (as usual) now 2 o’clock. Took a quick shower.

Filled the dish washer then sent a couple of family emails. Since Sunday is ‘the day of rest’ I relaxed with the magazines from the paper. Half watched last nights ‘X-Factor’ recorded on Sky plus, as I read them and nodded off for half an hour.

8 pm my daughter phoned (after putting my grandsons to bed) for an hour, then I watched a 3-hour ‘Catherine Cookson’ epic on the Yesterday channel.
