Our Morning Out...


with thnax to Dianna for this beautiful graphic

Wednesday 1/8/07...

I can't believe that it's the 1st of August, the months have gone by so quickly and it's only 4 months to christmas...

"?" took me to get my shopping again this morning. These shopping days seem to come round quickly. Later, we went to pick "ST" up for the day. After dinner "?" went out, "ST" was writting and doing something online, while i got on with a couple of chores, then i settled to watch TV in the lounge.

About 4:30pm "?" returned. "ST" decided to stay over, so i let "L" know that he was staying. After "?" had left around 6:15pm, "ST" and i had our tea. "ST" went online for the evening and i settled to watch TV in the lounge to about 9pm then i went to my room and "ST" decided to go to play on his X-Box for a while.

Thursday 2/8/07...

"?" came in 8:30am while i was getting breakfast ready. Later, around 10:30am we decided to go out for a couple of hours over Haignault Forest Country Park. We walked around the lake, then we made our way to the kiosk and bought our ice-creams and sat down looking out over the fields and lake. "?" and i were tired out. We sat there for about half hour, "?" said his legs were drawing bad. "?" wanted some chips, then"ST" said he wanted some and guess what, i had some too...naughty me! After we got our chips we all decided to go to the top of the hill over looking the park below and what a palaver that was. "?" said, who's brainy idea was it to come up here "ST" and i said YOUR'S  together...lol. We stopped and started every couple of steps all the way up. Mind you it was'nt steep, mostly too much for "?" and i  really. Anyway, we got to the top and sat on the bench over looking the lake and fields. We could also see Chigwell and Loughton in the distance. We just sat there relaxing and taking in the views and watching the world go by.Then the weather started to change, so we made our way back to the car.

On the way home we stopped off at Morrisons to take a couple of adverts in to put on their wall, one for "ST" as he is still trying to sell his bike, the other one for my house exchange.

If the weathers nice next week we will take "Z" and "J" with us to Haignault and take a picnic with us and spend a longer time there. They can all run around and let off steam.

When we got home "?" settled to watch a cowboy film on TV while "ST" and i went to my room, he went online and i watched TV and got a bit of knitting done.Later, we took "ST" home about 4:30pm and "?" left at 6:15pm then i got a couple of chores done before i came online. Today has'nt been too bad really even though we tired ourselves out...Best wishes to you all and i hope you all have a great weekend.

        Astra!

I envy you your days out!  Your life is so peaceful and it seems as though your days just flow from one to another.  I know that there is stress in everyone's life, but I love reading about yours!
