Lazing On A Sunday Afternoon
With my project work being fast and furious this past week and my Saturday being filled with adventure, it is so nice to have nothing pressing to do today.
Yesterday was a day filled with cleaning, laundry, software testing, taking Saga to have a B-A-T-H (!!!) and running errands. Today, there is nothing what-so-ever pressing that desires my attention so I am spending the day working on my photography catalogue, writing email, and basically doing not much of anything.
I spent the morning watching the talking heads programs and sipping coffee while petting Saga. (She is so nice and soft now that she has been to the dog wash.) I am making no absolute plans, but I may get the cameras out and go take some pictures later on. Other than that, however, as Queen puts it: “I’ll be lazing on a Sunday afternoon!”
Wherever you are today, I hope you’re having a relaxing day!

Lazing On A Sunday Afternoon
Words and music by Freddie Mercury
I go out to work on Monday morning
Tuesday I go off to honeymoon
Ill be back again before its time for sunny-down
Ill be lazing on a Sunday afternoon
Bicycling on every Wednesday evening
Thursday I go waltzing to the zoo
I come from London town
I’m just an ordinary guy
Fridays I go painting in the Louvre
I’m bound to be proposing on a Saturday night (There he goes again)
And I'll be lazing on a Sunday (lazing on a Sunday)
Lazing on a Sunday afternoon

Ash Wednesday Memories
A few years back, I was staying in a pub in Surbiton during one of my first trips to the UK. I will often remember the trip for having lived above a pub for so long, and for making such good friends whilst over there.
I will also (on this day) always think of that pub because of the publican and his wife (? - Partner?), who was the cook; at least she was in the kitchen whenever I ate there. She was also (it is my firm belief) an observant Catholic.
I know this because of what happened that Ash Wednesday. It was breakfast and the publican was taking order-after-order for the Traditional English Breakfast; sausage, beans, mushrooms, eggs, and grilled tomatoes. He had sent back quite a few while I was sitting there, and he had just delivered a plate of steak and eggs to the next table and was commenting on how nice it looked and how he would love to have had that for breakfast when his (again – partner? wife?) cook walked out of the kitchen and announced in a voice that filled the bar and dining room:
“For those of you who would rather not eat meat on ASH WEDNESDAY we do have Kippers and Eggs or Bubble and Squeak on the menu today!” (And yes, when she said it, you could hear that she was speaking in all capitals!)
She then disappeared into the kitchen again trailing a look of disdain and roll of the eyes from the publican. I am not sure how many takers she had for the kippers, but the sausages were lovely!
Wherever you are today, I hope your breakfast was whatever you wanted it to be!

Laissez les bon temps roules.
Even Saga wanted to get into the spirit of Mardi Gras! She got all dolled-up in her beads for the day!
The other night at my Mardi Gras party she begged enough to be allowed to join the festivities. I am not entirely sure if she is just generally lethargic this morning or if she has finally come down off the sugar rush from all the goodies Saturday. (Perhaps she finally got someone to give her a Hurricane.)
Either way, she is definitely looking stylish in her beads this morning! Even if she got all dressed up just to luxuriate on the couch for a active morning of lying in!
Wherever you are today, I hope that your Mardi Gras is a pleasant one!
