Utterly quiet weekend…

This weekend was absolutely quiet – and I liked it.

Spent most of it sleeping, to be completely honest. By accident and sheer force of (Kate’s) will, we didn’t get out of bed before noon either today or yesterday. And the waking hours were spent entirely with chores, writing, movies and reading.

I spent 3 hours on Saturday afternoon cleaning Kate’s car top to bottom – wax, leather cleaner, the works. The house is spotless and the fridge and cupboards are full. Birds were fed, windows tilted in and wiped down. Even the cats got fresh poop boxes…

Wholly domestic. Not good for blog fodder, but just fine during the worst months of the academic year.
