My First Pomelo And A Vase Of Yellow (ish)

Sunday Oct 30th –

 

 

 

Last Sunday we woke up too late, this Sunday it was too early 🙄

Our neighbour below enjoys his music played loudly and at 6:30 am it was frustrating Mike so he got up and ready to go knock on their door but then decided not to.
Him getting up, woke me up… a whole hour to early 😳😠

The new coffee beans got tested and they were a whole lot better than the others, but not as good as the ones before 😕
I think this ‘finding new beans’ will be a long process ☕️

We left and I got to hold cupcakes for the hour long drive 😋

After the church service was over we left pretty quickly so we could go get a bite to eat before visiting little Pauline 😁💕

I said I wanted something that didn’t take long and the rest of the decision was up to Mike 😜
He chose a small Greek restaurant and it was a very good choice👌🏻

There’s just those places that you go, ya know? You eat the same food at a few other places and forget how good it is from that ONE place, then when you finally go back you can’t believe you forgot what you were missing 😍

In simpler words, it was really good 😋

Then to the hospital we went to congratulate Judith and Christian and hold the wee new bundle 👶🏻🎉🎀

We hung out there for a while, taking turns holding the baby and enjoying a visit with the once again new parents before we drove back to the apartment for a while.

The elevator was getting repaired so imagine our heart sinking feeling at realizing we would need to… *whispers* take the stairs 😳

Seeing one niece made Mike miss the others so we headed out to Sarah’s and we left stuffed with food… I feel like we are just her two extra kids who go mooch off her sometimes 🙈
We enjoyed conversation, bracelets gifted from Lisanne and comparing talents with Sophie (crossed eyes, tongue touching the nose, ya know, all the super impressive stuff) and food, including my first ever eaten pomelo! Which I found out I really liked 😊👌🏻
Sarah said she enjoys peeling them and who were we to deny her that pleasure?! 😆

 

 

 

Monday Oct 31st –

 
Packages and mail had to be readied and it’s a process I enjoy 😊 💌📬
Almost as much as getting mail itself 😋
Which I got none of.
What’s the point of having a mail box anymore these days?! 🙄

The one package I got ready was at the point where one little bit of tape may put it over the weight limit, soo we will see how that goes 😬

The little place needed cleaning, laundry needed doing, blog needed writing, cupcakes needed eating… the usual 😏😋

Unusual was me actually exercising 🙈
It felt good though, in that awful, painful sort of way 🙄😜
What’s sadly funny is later, when Mike got home I told him to guess what I’d done that was unlike me.
He guessed ‘shower’ 😂🙈
Which I did (and do) often enough just so you reading folk aren’t thoroughly disgusted 😋

Mike had transplanted Orlando Bloom into a pretty jar I bought months ago, so I gave him a home on the shelf for now (I move things😁).

Mike had wondered what I’d use the jar for when I bought it, I knew it would have a use eventually😉

Supper was easy and tasty if I do say so myself, leftover soup and biscuits 😊

Mike and I settled in with snacks and watched a soccer movie later that evening… (believe it or not it was me who chose it, so Mike would like it) it was thrilling😏😉
