For once this is by me...
First I got an errand done for my husband, and in the
process finally found a restaurant we'd been looking for! to enjoy quite
possibly this coming weekend.
Then I browsed at a large bookshop and found a favorite
magazine long on my wish list, plus a beautiful little book of poetry, the
Everyman's Library (AKA Every Person's per my husband) anthology The Four
Seasons of poetry on each season.
Then, very appropriately, at my next stop of a coffee shop I
had a delicious autumnal coffee drink and read poetry about autumn. There I
also got a pound of our favorite coffee…
And then walked home -- all of this was walking, mind you,
so I even felt fabulous for that. The rest of the morning I studied for an
upcoming exam and did some writing. Then after lunch some lovely basic dishes
we'd ordered for our new home arrived via our longsuffering UPS man. After some
more study I unpacked and washed them, just in time for my husband to arrive
home from work and tell me some good news about a house we're hoping to buy
(our first!).
In the evening we had a delicious one-dish vegetable and
tuna dish with some lovely rolls, with chocolate and fresh berries for dessert.
Afterwards we watched an episode of Agatha Christie's Tommy and Tuppence-- I
loved the books and adore the BBC series as well. What wonderful costumes
especially for the ladies!
What a fun day! We're in a new place and I am so enjoying
myself.
