I woke up early again but decided to stay in bed and watch
Pokémon… I stayed in bed till 9. I
got up and had breakfast again with Robin before starting my chores. Robin is going to do garden work until
lunch, I took it upon myself to also do garden work… even if Rob didn’t tell me
what to do.
I raked leaves at the side of the house while Rob trimmed
the edges of the lawn and when he was finished he told me that he is going to
mow up the leaves anyway, thank goodness I only did the side yard and not the whole
yard. I was given a new job of
sweeping up all the cut grass and leaves on the pavement. This job took me a good hour to do… I
had to do it perfectly!
I felt like doing a bit of a workout after this but in my
room, I am too lazy to go outside right now. I did my yoga moves and by the end of those I had quite the
sweat going but that wasn’t enough!
I did pushups, crunches, squats, wall-sits, plank/side plank and
attempted one arm pushups… I felt like throwing up after this. I was happy to have an early shower and
freshen myself up before doing anything.
The moment I got into the dining room and sat down Robin was
almost ready to go into town to meet Sharon for lunch… I decided to take them
out before things got too hectic.
We waited for Sharon at this lovely café that her and I had
eaten at last time I was in Mount Gambier. Robin and I decided to order before she arrived, quite a
risky move if we ordered the wrong thing for her but we knew we would do fine. I ordered an eggs Benedict thing that is
served with tomato sauce and a thing of cheese instead of hollandaise and Rob
ordered an egg brochette and a pumpkin potato soup. After Sharon arrived we only had to wait a few minutes
before our meal came and oh my goodness did it look and taste so good! I slowly devoured mine, trying to savor
each bite.
It wasn’t long till we parted ways; Sharon went to work, Rob
went to the hardware store and I went to the library to get Wi-Fi. I got one blog loaded and talked to
everyone I could while I had the gift of Internet. I got everything I needed done and just in time, Rob did
what he needed at the hardware store and then came to retrieve me.
We did some quick running around; I got a beautiful box for
the dream catcher, tissue paper, ribbon, and food for dinner. Tonight I am making random pasta.
We got home and I chilled out on the couch watching Pokémon
for a bit, then I decided to start dinner.
I continued to watch Pokémon as I boiled water, chopped
mushrooms and stirred sour cream into pasta sauce. I was getting so absorbed in cooking and watching my show
that when Rob stepped into the kitchen I nearly had a heart attack when he
spoke. Right before Sharon arrived
home I threw together a salad and got the table all set up.
I am in love with food and I couldn’t wait to start eating
dinner and neither could Robin but Sharon was busy on the phone so we had to
wait.
She sat down and we consumed everything on our plates!
After dinner we didn’t have to clean the kitchen because I
had already done it but we had lots of cooking to do before Thursday. We began making more pudding and adding
the second layer to the ice cream.
This layer had coconut shavings and coconut milk in it… I couldn’t stop
eating it and the leftovers in the bowl were quickly consumed. This layer froze really quickly and we
were able to do the last layer that night. Sharon picked a ton of mint and we stuffed it into a blender
to be torn to sheds so we could get mint juice from it. Once we had it, we mixed it into the
ice cream with limejuice, filled the center and Ta Da! The ice cream was complete
and I was ready for bed!
Tomorrow everyone shows up and that’s when things really get
busy!
