Another beautiful day. We went into Bridgeford to enjoy the weather in the park. Got iced coffees from the Little Green cafe.
We sat in the park,where we often do. There was another wedding, its quite a good place to sit. If you like seeing people tie the knot. And people watching is your favourite pastime.
We then went to get food for today and tomorrow. Lamb burgers for today and Steak for tomorrow.
I finished that book last night and downloaded the second in the series to start today.
I realised a while back that I'm at the most peaceful stage in my life that I've ever known. I love this for me. The glow of candles ( faux ones these days, just as pretty, but safer) scents wafting around from the candle warmer, favourite one has definitely got to be the American Hut French Quarter lobby smell. Its clover and sage mixed with something sweet like powdered sugar, evoking the beignets straight from the fryers. I love the cosy late evenings with Willow on my knee, reading, while we have one of the calming backdrops on YouTube on the TV.
Sometimes if I'm struggling to sleep, Kev will go to bed leaving me up. It's so quiet and relaxing round this cul-de-sac and long before 11pm, the neighbours stop moving around, allowing you to hear the roof settle and creak. It used to be I couldn't sleep because overthinking, just lately it's simply because my energy levels have risen. Many years ago at Grafton Road I needed the noise of the TV on to help me sleep and I would often pull out the futon sofas into a bed and nod off downstairs. That was back when Kev worked nights and it was like living on my own for chunks of the time. Even if he was off, he would be so knackered bless him he would spend most of his time off asleep. I am so glad those days are gone.
