First Day Off





I took the dogs for a walk early. Sunshine, and a leisurely walk, not a care, we trotted along. Ah, the old suburb, it almost felt like, nice in the morning. Back to normal. How life should be, I couldn't help but feel that.

The Tattslotto shop I usually got to with the dogs on our walk was closed for renovations. The handsome Tattllotto guy gone, I presume. He was always so lovely. He was endlessly interested in Brun and Otto. I'll miss him, now that he has gone.

I came home, dropped the dogs off. Then I went straight out to the other Tattslotto shop down the street. It's closer to home, actually

After that, I went to a couple of shops, having a sniff about, with no real aim. Cash Converters, and a couple of Opshops. I love OpShops, they are my favourite places. The last place you can find something other than the mass-produced merchandise of shops that sell new stuff. Ah, the things you see, quite out of the ordinary so much of the stuff. I didn't go all the way down Smith Street to the Salvos, like I usually do. It's a nice walk down there in the sunshine, but I didn't go today.

I came home put my track pants on, got on the couch, with a pillow, pulled the big, pink blanket over myself with my laptop, and happily stayed there all day. Who cares about the outside world? What outside world? Are you telling me there is a world beyond these walls? Seriously? Who'd have thought. Who would even want that? I ask you?

Feet up. Not a care.

That was my first day off.
