Lazy Sunday afternoon

Really had a lazy Sunday today and thoroughly enjoyed it. I watched the 'Drop Zone' final and the later 'The Apprentice' final and even an old Harry Potter film in between, but I enjoyed every moment of being idle. I can't say I was inactive as I cooked a roast or mother and myself, plus filled in 36 cards for various competitions and if some of them come to fruition, it could be a very good new year!
Normally I feel a bit like a caged animal if I stay in with this urgent desire to fill everyday up with something exciting or I feel as if I'm letting myself down.
I do feel a tad guilty that I didn't get down to the candlelit Christmas Carol service, but on the other hand I did see Silver End's answer to the Christmas Coca Cola advert and that was Julie's father-in-law dressed up as Santa on a brightly lit up float run by the Scouts! Bless him, he's being doing that job for years and is in his late 70's.
I thought it looked brilliant, even though I did feel a bit like the little lame boy who couldn't keep up with the others in the story of the Pied Piper where I kept seeing the tail end of them disappearing down another road!
But I waited it out and eventually they came past my close, then I felt guilty that I didn't get mum, but it was far too cold and slippy for her out there.
Tomorrow it will be another run of finishing off the bathroom, this time the flooring is going down and hopefully the sparky will come to flick the switch so I can christen it. And of course we have another hospital appointment to look forward to, so today was a well deserved quiet moment.

Lots of love Debbie x
