One Perfect Day

October 27, 2018 by Stacey 4 Comments

With the exception of leaving my purse behind this morning as I shopped at Bunnings, today has been one of those  damn perfect simple days.

Sure I had to be at gymnastics by 9 after I accidentally woke up at 8.20, but we got there AND I managed breakfast before I left. So we’ll chalk that up to a win. Also an 8.20 wake-up? That means I slept.

I also spent the day working on my book, gardening, watching the kids have the actual time of their lives in mud in the back yard, I ate really good food, drank really good tea, chatted with the husbot, shopped in my local village for the paper and a pastie, sat around and read books, played with the kids, bathed them early (see the aforementioned mud) and was in my own pyjamas come 4pm.

And while I’d like maybe for Matt to be home for a nice dinner and an even nicer bottle of wine to cap off the perfect day, he’s out this evening. So in the Sliding Doors alternate reality 10/10 evening, I get to read food magazines alongside watching back-to-back royal documentaries and British baking shows (while slamming down some Whittaker’s Coconut Block, amen) without sharing the remote. Praise be.

    And you wrote a blog post on top of all of that perfectness. You’re ace.
    Mine was pretty great too except for the part tonight when I was walking through the forest collecting sticks to trellis the peas and tripped over a root and landed on my knees. Like a little kid I now have sore knees. If my mum was here I’d sit up on the washing machine and get her to pop Mecuricrome on them. (no idea how you spell that). Love to you honey bunch. xx

      I felt like I had to encapsulate it, you know? Like the life I dreamed when I was younger really is my daily reality. Driving kids to sport. Walking to get the paper. Writing a book. Tending my garden. Eating well. QT with the love of my life. I will be grateful one day when I stumble across this post.

      I remember having sore knees when I went to do a fun run as a kid and the initial wave of people starting off all knocked me over and I didn’t know what to do so I kept running with my bleeding knees. Nobody helped me and I didn’t know who to ask. I feel sad for that poor little girl – she’ll be up there with you on the washing machine for some TLC xx

    Oh my! I have just found the delight that Whittaker’s Coconut….and it was on special this week! How do I eat something so utterly and sensorily delightful without gaining any weight. Dunno. But sure as heck as I love having new teeth I will try some self control. And if toasted coconut is not the bomb texturally and in taste I do not know what is! I remember Mum making it. Memories! Love you Denyse x
