An Aroma Of Pure Perfection ☕️

Tuesday Nov 1st –

 

 

I woke up with the sore throat gifted to me from Mikes own slightly ill self 🙄

The sun was shining through our window and it looked like a lovely day was ahead, but not so long after the clouds and fog came in 😕🌥

Mike was working from home, meaning I become even less productive and the house stays constantly a tad messy 😏

(Our work station😜) 

We finished up the farmers sausage soup and it’ll be some time now until we have it again, farmers sausage from Saskatchewan isn’t so easily mailed😁

There was a plan in place to go for a walk together, but just the idea of that put me in bed for a nap 😜

I woke to smells of something cooking and found Mike had heated up a pizza for us 😊🍕

Paper work was looked at once more since we had a chance to do it together, finishing up the last little details before the package would be fully ready to send off 😁📮

A cheese and cracker tray made up our dinner before Mike headed off to play soccer.

The wine jelly proved worth the effort it took to make 😉👌🏻

I then had the evening to myself to doodle and start watching ‘The Paradise’… if anyone has suggestions of a good, clean movie series, I’m all open to hearing them! 😊✍🏻

I also had to force down some honey lemon tea for the throat 😷

Don’t know how people drink that stuff for the enjoyment 🤔

Mike returned from playing soccer and before much could be said he asked if he could watch a soccer game that was on if he gave me a foot rub, who was I to deny him a soccer game?😏That’s usually the deal at our place… if I have to endure listening to lame soccer game, then I also get a foot rub (it’s a strategy I highly suggest to all you other soccer wives) 👌🏻⚽️😋

 

 

 

Wednesday Nov 2nd –

 

 

The big day finally came, the day the paperwork got officially finished up, sealed, addressed and sent off 🇨🇦📮
So let the unknown length of a waiting game begin!

We went into Doesburg to send off the package and then pop into the pet store, I keep telling myself I don’t need goldfish, so we instead chose a new toy for Fiji, hoping to liven him up a little 😏

Lunch was grabbed at a snack bar and an ice cream for me, since we aren’t totally sure when the snack bars will stop serving them due to the colder weather… 

one must take precautions 😜

Doesburg has a little shop with coffee beans, coffee accessories, chocolates etc. and Mike explained our coffee predicament to the nice man who owned it 😬

He didn’t have any beans roasted dark enough out on the floor, but he brought down a barrel from storage, and it was perfect ❤️
The dark beans, shining with oily beauty looked up at us and an aroma wafted to us of pure perfection💕☕️

Next to find was some pomelos!
Two stores later and we had them in hand 😊

Still no luck at finding spaghetti squash anywhere though 😔

Back at the apartment Mike got to work pealing the pomelo and I began supper, a simple pre seasoned chicken with rice and the usual citrus cucumber salad, but I added in strawberries for a little change and it was a nice one 😊🍓

Fiji liked his new toy 🐭

​​
Our evening was then spent on the couch, munching pomelo, chatting and watching a bit of a sermon online.
