A Magical Saturday Afternoon.

Enjoying life.

It has turned out to be another hot day, surprisingly after a cool and rainy one yesterday. It being summer and so forth everyone expects hot weather until they have to endure blatant sunshine, heatstroke and no energy. Amazing how quickly autumn is wished for.

Bob's been working extremely hard this week and is ready for this weekend. Despite feeling exhausted he has been heard to utter thoughts of doing some brush cutting in our back garden, which promptly led to me laying down the law! All that he's allowed to do this weekend, is to relax and recharge. Nothing more.

Luckily, we have a stack of unread books which for us is akin to Christmas. Like little treats waiting to be devoured. Nothing like diving into another life and following various fictional people while they deal with whatever life has thrown at them. Preferably a murder or two. Sleuthing is our preferred genre.

After lunch this family set off on their literary adventures. Bob likes reading in the bedroom as it is more comfortable when he dozes off, I prefer reading on the couch as I don't doze off and our little Mausi chose to keep Bob company on the bed, reading between the lines. Yes, she cuddles right alongside Bob while he is reading knowing very well that it only takes a few pages until he settles in for a long afternoon snooze with which she has a strong affinity. Nothing she likes more than dreaming the day away snuggled next to us, her most important people.

Reading has so many levels of being good for one. New and different thoughts ( vital in our currently dire times ), time away from social media and a chance to relax and unwind. The latter is rather neglected by many until it is too late and their body rebels. Weekend should be taken by its word. An end to the week and a chance to reset to zero before Monday rolls around...
