The Rest Day

My body knows it has to rest and doesn't wake up until eight. Outside it's dry but overcast, but nothing ever deters the rabbits! Breakfast is the full English, with Cumberland sausage that I bought on "special offer", and then found out they weren't at the check out. Still they were very nice and after breakfast and a shower, made my way into town to meet friends for coffee at the "Poppy Seed". Felicity never arrived and we were worried as she hasn't been well, but it transpired that she had simply fallen asleep in the armchair after walking the dogs. Later wandered around the market saying hello to people, everyone commenting on how cold and wet April has been. Returned home with my shopping and listened to Hull lose to West Ham 2:1 in the last match of the season as I prepared lunch. I have roasted a joint of pork with roast winter vegetables, potatoes and sprouts, which are steamed, " al dente", in the microwave. Lunch is served with the last glass of Hock from a bottle in the fridge, the sweetness of the wine perfectly complementing the pork. Slice some more pork and cover this and the remaining roast vegetables , with cling film before storing it in the fridge for lunch after the Swimathon tomorrow. In the evening, after mass, read a book about Leonardo Da Vinci by Javier Sierra until bedtime.
