PJ Sunday

I woke up this morning feeling very relaxed. I had a relaxing evening last night, doing nothing much, and the children woke up late, which meant a long lie in for me!
I have a few errands to run and I had planned my day to fit them all in. However, my children had other plans. They were not interested in tagging along to my chores, and all they wanted to day was spend the day in their pyjamas and playing at home. So that's exactly what we did! My errands can wait till tomorrow.
They played so wonderfully together, and really enjoy each other's company. They spent almost the whole day going from room to room finding creative ways of entertaining themselves. Why disturb their hours of joy by taking them on errands which are so boring for them? The fact that is was pouring with rain for most of the day made even more sense! The afternoon brought some sunshine so they were able to play in the garden as well. Yesterday they helped me do some gardening, and they wanted to do more today.
In the afternoon, I left the children with their dad who was home from work early, and I went to do my gym and swim workout. The Wimbledon men's final had just started and I went to watch it during my workout. Thanks to the rain the match was interrupted for 45 minutes and when it restarted I was so engrossed that I hardly felt the workout, though I did pause several times during the tense, nailbiting moments. But it was not to be, Andy Murray lost the game but won our hearts with his emotional outpouring speech. I wish he would just smile more, though who can imagine the amount of pressure he is under. Federer, on the other hand is pure genius, there's no other way to describe him, he's a prodigy of tennis.
After I came home, I put the children to bed and sat down to organise the week ahead. Meal planning is not something I always enjoy, especially when I would rather be reading one of my new books from Amazon, but it's something that I have to do. This week however, I am in a very experimental mode and I have a list flying in my head of new recipes to try that I have not attempted before. The recipes require shopping for ingredients that I have not used before and I love trying new things, I get a little buzz when I go out to find them! So if you want to know what these dishes are, and how they turned out, keep following to find out!
