Things on Tuesday--on Wednesday

Why?  Because I am ill and lethargic and still have to care for a busy baby.  And, I have been trying to spend what time I can enjoying the sunshine.

Loves: 

• Sunny days.  The past two days here have been brililant!  Sunshine, no wind, Sofia and I have been spending as much time as we can outside.
• Two magazines in the post yesterday.  National Geographic Traveler and National Geographic.  Now, time to read them...
• Visit yesterday from a work friend.  She brought me organic Scottish shortbread and dark chocolate Jaffa Cakes from Marks and Spencers.  Double Yum!!
• Wandered past my neighbour's house yesterday and she came out with a box of Guylian Belgian chocolates for me.  Why?  Someone gave them to her and she doesn't like them.
• Flower festival at our local chuch this weekend.  I brought Sofia over to see the flowers.  Beautiful.  (I brought my camera and forgot to take photos.  D'oh)
• I asked builders for advice about a clothesline yesterday.  They offered to put it up for me.  Very exciting when you don't have a proper dryer.  Yay!
• Hot tea on my throat.

Loathes:

• Getting sick.  Congestion, sore throat, general blah feeling.
• Landlord didn't tell me our house exterior was getting painted this week.  Painters show up yesterday morning.  Can't really leave the house for too long because they need to be in and out.  Plus, the paint smells bad.
• I have a "friend" who I met last year.  We hung out a few times with and without our husbands.  Kept in contact via email, myspace, etc.  She always has an excuse why she is too busy to get together.  I just realised the other day that I haven't seen her since the week before Sofia was born.  That was nearly 7 months ago.  Time to let go?
• These damn stretch marks.  And this baby weight that WILL NOT COME OFF.
