Weekends don't really mean that much these days when you don't go out to work. Your routine alters, because there isn't the need to go out food or clothes shopping as there was when at work. Saturdays, VT and I would very often go out on a day trip, we would go all over the accessable parts of our area, into Wales on the Lake District or the Peak District. We'd go somewhere most Saturdays. Nowadays of course it would be a battle of the traffic really, I don't think there would be much pleasure in going out to those places for a day. Shame really, especially now we have the time and the money to do that.
Sundays used to be schoolwork, or washing/ironing and general catch up on what you didn't do during the week. used to hate the last day of the half term, you'd know the term would be stretching before you with all the paperwork. No more thank goodness.
Today has been our usual routine with the papers, and the crosswords, make a pizza dough and VT having a mooch out and I have a go on the computer. Makes a nice change from washing Jane's school clothes and ironing school shirts and blouses and that awful pleated skirt she used to wear. Those days are long gone thank goodness.
Tonight we are having:
Pizza with pesto and tomato and portobello mushrooms
Egg salad with baby plum tomatoes and avocado
potato salad for moi and pasta salad for VT
