“Lazy Sunday afternoon
I’ve got no mind to worry
I close my eyes and drift away-a”
Small Faces 1960s – an English rock band from East London
Sunday afternoon and it’s here before anywhere else in the world. Well, this Sunday was great.
The day started with a late rising, followed by a chat with my daughter and then another chat this time on Facetime with my alter ego/good friend Chris. You know that we regularly chat and although we’ve never met in person, we are firm friends. Maybe if one of us wins the lottery we might get to meet. Waterloo, Ontario is far from Wellington, New Zealand. Aren’t we lucky we live in a time when the internet makes connecting with friends so easy?
After being picked up by another friend and lunch in the coffee shop at my favourite garden shop, we took a ‘short’ run to the supermarket for a very few things. As my daughter says “Why go to the supermarket on Sunday afternoon when you have all week?” No answer to that one.
Then it was time to unpack the groceries and take the opportunity to sit in the sunshine with another book from Tony Park, the author I recently discovered. Another book set in South Africa, about game viewing and poaching. I am enjoying learning more about this fascinating country. Off now to continue reading.
Then after lunch, a ‘short’ run to the supermarket for a very few things. As my daughter says “why go to the supermarket on Sunday afternoon when you have all week?” No answer to that one.
Back to reading my book.

It certainly was granny. I am enjoying reading about South Africa and the game poaching. Guess there is no game poaching where you live

A wonderful day!! and mine is shaping up that way. Sunny (it has been weeks without) very cold -10C so any outing will be a short one! Even have the heat turned down and window opened a bit for some lovely fresh air!

OMG. -10° unbelievable. When you post comments like this, I remember why I don’t live in Canada anymore.

Sounds like a great Sunday to me. I buy groceries whenever I need something, it may be on a Sunday or maybe not.

It was a lovely day. And shopping on a Sunday afternoon in a busy supermarket is not to be recommended.

I’m enjoying a lazy Sunday, too…though my big dog is starting to get a bit restless. She’s ready for a walk!

Where was Cindy? I hope it’s not too cold to take the dog out for his walk

I dictated well Cindy. Once again, I must remind myself to read what I’ve written before hitting post comment.

It suddenly struck me – Wellington and Waterloo! Reconciled! (without Napoleon …)

The way you wrote the quote, it looked like such a great work of art I actually thought Baldacci wrote an uncharacteristic book about the topic, and I actually looked it up and couldn’t find it until I realized it was a quote… Good job! 🙂

Thanks for the comment. I found that quote from Baldacci a couple of years ago and have used it often in my blogs.

Sounds like a lovely day except for the grocery store. I really don’t like grocery shopping!

I still go to the store because I like to see the stuff before I buy it.
