Easter Sunday, woke up to the dawn chorus, we have a wren nesting in Billy's shed so we cannot close the door.
We have four days holiday so we should have rested, but on Good Friday I had this urge to spring clean! Washed down the paintwork in the dining room then saw the curtains(drapes) so washed them,washing machine gave up and sprayed black oil into wash drum....new curtains? Washed all the china on dresser,dresser needed tender loving care, very old.Polished! Sitting room, washed all the crystal in cabinet, noticed paintwork looked sad....sent Billy out for paint,took down paintings, mirrors and photos, took 5 hours to transform room from green to coffee and cream,had to send out for take away supper no time to cook!
Back to this morning , woke up to dawn chorus, lept out of bed, photos, paintings back on wall,crystal back in cabinet, no time to worry about no drapes!!Ma and Pa coming for Easter lunch at 2.0 ,madness in kitchen, lamb undercooked, potatoes burnt!
Sitting after lunch over coffee in sitting room with CD of Pavarotti playing.Ma and Pa loved food,have not noticed change in colour scheme, just happy to share Easter Sunday with us!
count my blessings again! Happy Easter, with love to you all around this table, Wendy.( black coffee please, strong, thanks!)
