Easter Weekend

Was woken when Hubby bought me breakfast in bed again. The sky was overcast and there was still a nip in the air. After chilling over breakfast I got up to see to the dogs and load the breakfast dishes into the dishwasher. Hubby had left eggshells on the counter top and I threw them into the garden (good fertilizer). Next thing brat Digby was sitting on the mat chewing an eggshell. He left a lovely mess of eggshell bits all over it for me to clean up. Dogs! Sometimes they are so irritating. With all the rain around Gaby has become very fastidious and refuses to go outside and get her feet wet so for the last few mornings has been leaving me a nice parcel to clean up. Enough is enough! Who needs that first thing in the morning?After seeing to his foot Hubby went in to the workshop to do some odds and ends – notably my Plymouth engine that has been patiently waiting for ever. Maybe will be able to drive it soon. By mid-morning the cloud had cleared and it was a gorgeous day so I made hay while the sun shone and quickly bathed the two brats (Babies). Diane checked e-mails quickly and then we decided to take my new phone in as it keeps going off and coming back on after fiddling around with the battery. We left late morning and went off to Eastgate. Driving there was an absolute pleasure as there were no road works being carried out and a lot of people must be away for the long weekend. Though when we reached the parking area it didn’t look like it as we had to drive around waiting for someone to leave to get a parking spot. On the drive there we had decided to see a movie seeing as we were there anyway and to go all that way just to take a phone in would be a waste. First we stopped at the booking office where we bought tickets to see ` It’s Complicated’ and then we took the phone in. It was booked in for checking by a technician and I put my sim card into my old phone which luckily I had taken with. That done we went to Mugg n Bean for a bite to eat. Diane ordered a veggie wrap while I had spicy wings and wedges - good stuff – and we both had coffees. A red cappuccino for me and a red latte for her. We both enjoyed the meal and after paying went down to the movies, getting there just in time. The movie was hilarious and really entertaining. It was nearly six when we reached home and still a beautiful day. The dogs were still looking good, Digby was so white. We spent a chill evening in front of the TV, having our wine with our meal.
It was an absolutely gorgeous day when we woke up. Hubby and I chilled outside with a morning cuppa and a chat. What a good start to the day! While I fed the dogs Hubby made the breakfast which I ate under the trees. He was eating his in front of the TV. I was energized after my chill outside and decided to tackle a long- awaited task. Mending! Hubby has so many pairs of jeans which he has torn. He is a very careless person and two pairs were brand new. Diane had also given me things to fix over the past few months like straps coming undone etc. It was a very productive day as all the mending was cleared. Hubby was so impressed and quickly dug out his new jacket and all the badges he had been collecting. There were seven altogether and after he had pinned them were he wanted them I started with the job. I was very happy to find that only three needed to be sewn on as the others were iron-on. After completing that we celebrated with a glass of wine under the trees. Hubby was thrilled with all that was back in his cupboard and so decided to make the supper. I was on a roll and went looking for more to sew but sadly there was nothing so spent the evening in front of the TV instead. `Americanizing Shelley’ and then ` Midsummer Murders’ was on and we enjoyed both having our Milo in between the two movies. ` Law and Order’ came on before I could switch the TV off and we ended up watching that as well before going to bed around midnight.
