a day at home...

I have had the day off, and would have to say, it has been the closest to a day off I had in Springfield. We started off with a wonderful sleep in, until my phone rang (a very rare occasion) nothing exciting, virgin, our media company calling about an email I sent. Though we did get it figured out, which of course was nice. Followed by tiding up, as I went to put in my contacts I discovered my right eye was irritated and red. I kept feeling like there was something in there yesterday, but could never find anything. I was wearing my rabbit fur gillet which sheds everywhere, and I am afraid a piece of the hair got in my eye and irritated it. Alex claims it is the rabbit taking revenge from the grave. :( After the discovery we decided it was best to wear my glasses for the day and continue relaxing, and going to the grocery store to do a bit of shopping. The store, was chaos and you could feel the Christmas panic was in full blast. We came home to do laundry, enjoy e! news (well, I did at least) and then on to a snack, a nap, some present wrapping, painting, cooking, skyping and magazine reading. Alex's phone rang several times today too, it was really quite odd to hear that noise around our flat. But it was great, his were job interviews and appointments! We're now watching a movie, and cooking dinner, to be followed by brownies... that I still need to make! Here we have our brownies, pies, etc with this cream (we usually get the double thick cream) it is like in place of ice cream. We made homemade brownies tonight and they were.... AMAZING! Kicked the box mixes out of the water! So, so good! Here is the recipe if anyone wants to give it a shot! http://www.guardian.co.uk/lifeandstyle/2004/jun/13/foodanddrink.shopping2 . We ended the evening with a movie, a bit of painting, and of course more relaxing! What a wonderful, relaxing day! Hope you all have one soon too!
