A couple of quiet days

[heleninwales]

I've been having a couple of quiet domestic days. It felt as though I'd been doing a lot of strenuous outdoor things over the last few days, going for walks, doing the big food shop, cutting all the front grass etc. So I decreed it was time for a couple of days of rest. I made a loaf in the bread machine yesterday and also a big pot of soup for lunches this week.

So far today. I have dealt with some emails, signed our local Quaker meeting up to a new online Quaker group who are doing outreach. I doubt we'll get any enquiries from new potential members, but you never know. I also spent some time knitting a sock while listening to a Welsh TV programme (language practice), sliced the loaf I made yesterday and removed 3 tiny trees (one an oak) that were trying to grow right by the wall of our house.

More quiet and non-strenuous things will happen this afternoon.

I find it's easy to slip into the idea that I should be doing lots of things all the time. But I am starting to feel my age and I need to remember to take time out more frequently than I used to. In a way it's good that the weather has suddenly turned wet. I don't feel I'm wasting good weather by having a few quiet days.
