For some reason we were
all very tired this morning, I got up late, my son got up even later
and I practically had to use a shoe horn to get Pa out of bed at all!
We ate a quick
breakfast so as to be finished before our lovely cleaning lady
arrived. I had seen her yesterday and was a little concerned as she
looked tired and I knew that on Sunday she had a long drive ahead, so
it came as a relief when decided not to spend several hours turning
my house in to a show place of neatness.
Instead of working we
drank coffee and chatted,ate cookies and looked at photographs. She
had brought her partner with her and it was fun just to sit around
the kitchen table joking and laughing while my poor son beavered away
at his latest book. Pa does not get out much and I am always
glad when he can enjoy some male company and,it does him good to have a
laugh.
They are such a lovely
couple and right from the first they were welcoming and very kind to
us,it is through them that we met othes people in the village and we
certainly owe them both a debt of gratitude.
After they left I made
a few preparations for tonight's dinner and then Popped around to
visit them as they had been kind enough to ask me while they were
here. I really enjoyed my visit and I must say that it is a pleasure
to have a day just visiting and being visited,no chores, no
housework,,,it has been a lovely day.

To my delight and
astonishment the collared doves of which I am so fond are becoming
quite tame and this morning came to the bird feeder on the window
outside my bedroom ,they did not seem to mind as I watched them from
the other side of the glass. They then spent the afternoon
prospecting for food on the front lawn,I hope to provide these
charming birds with a small Dove cote in the New Year.
