OK, nobody is up early enough this morning, so if I don't post something now, I'll miss out for the day on the morning thread!
I guess you're all enjoying a relaxed sleep-in - good for you, you all need some ME time.
We've had a quiet day today. Cold again, but I was just getting my work clothes on to get my winter garden work started, when it began to rain. SO easy child 2/difficult child 2 & I watched a DVD easy child gave me for my birthday. Then difficult child 1 got home from church and sat to watch as well - we watched "Cadfael" which is a BBC series based on the books by Ellis Peters, of a Medieval Benedictine monk in Shrewsbury. They're gentle medieval murder mysteries, very enjoyable. We've had the books for years and I think we've managed to persuade difficult child 1 to read the series.
After the first 90 minute episode the rain had stopped enough for me to do some pruning. I worked on two fruit trees while easy child 2/difficult child 2 pruned her roses, but the rain began again so it was back inside to watch the next episode, with a mug of hot chocolate.
husband is still coughing - neither of us slept much last night - and difficult child 1 sounds terrible. I might have to take him to the doctor tomorrow, although we're all seeing the pediatrician on Tuesday so maybe he can wait until then. We have no GP in the village at the moment - we can't get one to stay, they're either incompetent or they complain it's too far to drive to us. It's a worry, when family is sick.
Enjoy a quiet Sunday, everyone. For us, the working week is about to get going. "Once more into the breach, dear friends..."
