Lazy Sunday
What a most enjoyable Sunday. We had a rare lie in. Lovely. Then we made breakfast and sat and listened to yesterday's Jonathan Ross' Radio 2 show from the BBC website. He does make me chuckle. Then I poured over the Sunday Times whilst drinking coffee until, ooh early afternoon.
Remember there is nothing open here on a Sunday except one of the 115 churches of many denominations, although one can actually get some curled up groceries in the afternoon as a couple of supermarkets open for a few hours. One of those places, Miles Market, is packed with ex-pat families desperate to get the kids out of the house trawling the empty aisles. Most just grab a coffee and sit outside. Us, well we just put another pot of coffee on and made some lunch.
Then I watched the golf unravel on the box. Bloody annoying all that USA! USA! USA! crap. Later we had some friends over to play tennis losing 4 balls in the process - all me I believe. We ate again, and just lolloped in front of the television watching The Emmy's. Then it was bedtime. ¶ 22:07
