Tonight I sat in my friend's garden, eating home grown strawberries, drinking home brewed beer, discussing many things. It doesn't get much better than that!
We did occasionally talk about the book; Americanah. None of us had finished it, that in itself was a good discussion point; beautiful descriptions, but maybe the narrative rate was too slow to engage us.
My friend lit her chimonea, we ate home made flapjack and compared notes about what the children were learning at school. We shared holiday stories and planned escapes from the humdrum of life.
Next book, Mansfield Park, an escape in itself.
Arrived home to find my DH had saved the washing up and tidying up for me. Such a treat! I should save it for him when he goes out, instead of selfishly hogging the job to me self.
To be fair, we often do end up washing and tidying together. It is 30 minutes in our busy days to chat and catch up.
