Here today it was one of those fresh Autumn days where the sky is blue and the air is comfortable. I walked the kids to the park. I enjoyed the smells of lawn, roses and a variety of trees that met me each corner I turned. We met a lady with two dogs on our way to the park. The kids had a ball throwing balls and having them retrieve and return to them. I think the lady was happy with that, because it saved her lots of energy. Energy the both the kids and dogs had, but she and I perhaps didn’t. When she asked me if they were my children, cause they were so delightful, I really wanted to claim them, but honesty got the better of me.
I spent some time today washing. The clothes dried quickly and I got most of my laundry done. I had piles of it because I had a big clean-out upstairs and changed all the linen in the house. So in between reading Pamela Allen picture books, playing hide and seek and reading some of my current reading obsession, I washed, dried and folded clothes. It was really convenient the day was so good for drying clothes.
When the kids returned to their mum’s we went to work to do some preparation for the week ahead. I love our Sunday nights in the kitchen. I learn heaps because there is no-one around and no pressure, so I get to ask more questions and Darin tells me heaps of interesting information. Like tonight I learned that a potage is soup that is thickened with it’s own ingredients. I watched Darin make chicken jus tonight. To be honest, before I met him I didn’t even know the word jus. We tested out our new menu item – hamburgers! –It’s a whole new world to me and I love it. There are so many things to learn about food. I had no idea. We can also have the music up much louder cause there is no one around:-).
