Happy Weekend.
Sunday morning. Sun is shining....the boys are at rugby, my teenage daughter is asleep. Apart from what I have realised is the rather loud hum of the kitchen appliances, the house is silent. I wish I could be up & awake ahead of everyone everyday, the world feels so good at that time of the day...something to aim for I think.
So right now it's just me & the laptop. Or rather....my husband's notebook-laptop-thingy which I am using just for today, since my own laptop crashed mysteriously while I was catching up on "Homeland" four days ago.... I still haven't finished that episode, not that it would have made me more au fait with the latest happenings. Love that series, miss Brody but love Carrie... do I feel slightly confused 90% of the time when watching the show, yes!
So, no laptop right now.....and, no glasses for at least a few more days, this is not so good. I have only recently started wearing glasses for reading....I quite enjoy wearing them, although I often forget that I have them & I don't always use them, they're clearly still quite a novelty. Clearly my need for them must have increased though, because I travelled on the Tube during the week went to read my book & couldn't because the print was too small....not good. Cue endless people watching on the London Underground, not such a bad thing ;)

What I would really like to be doing with my Sunday is heading across Hampstead Heath & holing up in a nice cosy pub for Sunday lunch.... alas, the weather is good & we must paint : chairs, a cabinet & a wall.
The absence of my laptop has inevitably freed me up to do other things, as it always does, amazing how much "free" time you suddenly have ;) I'll be in town a couple of days this week for some press previews.... I also want to see the incredible poppies at the Tower of London & see some of the fabulous Christmas displays that are starting to appear in the shops, I especially love London at this time of year. For now though, I keep working slowly with this unfamiliar laptop, peering away Happy Weekend....
