We woke up this morning to see frost on the roof of the house next door, and an icy feel to the flowerpots. The first of the season, and I will have to think of some of my plants: our old house was pretty sheltered and I don’t remember seeing frost in the early mornings like this more than a couple of times each year. Anyway, the sun was out, and by lunch time I felt over dressed in my warm coat and scarf.
Wednesday, as many of you know, is my non-working day, which starts with laundry and Pilates: well one of those activities sparks joy! I have been doing Pilates for many years, and enjoy it more than any other exercise I have done – it just suits me and can be quite challenging at times.
I always like to treat myself to lunch after, and today headed over to one of my favourite cafes in Wellington, Squirrel, on Blair Street. I love this place: always busy, there is a real buzz to this little place next door to the fabulous interior shop, Small Acorns. There are always fresh flowers on the table, and it is the perfect place to enjoy a sandwich or one of their fabulous toasts. I had a chicken sandwich today, with a pot of tea.
I stopped off at Good Books, which is unfortunately closing on Friday, and picked up a couple of books in their closing sale. Then it was home to…well, unpack and set up my dolls’ house – something that I have never featured on the blog, and once I have mended a few things might well do a post about at some point.
In the evening we watched the first semi-final of the Eurovision Song Contest…more of that later!
