waking up with the sun, instead of an alarm
remembering to fill up your fountain pen
a 10k run each day, at whatever time you choose
taking the bus
potting your new plants
making bread
caramel iced coffees
salad and a book on the patio
chilled chardonnay
sweeping the floor and not finding it a chore
fluffing cushions
burning your lip on the sauce
gin and tonics
putting the washing away
reading old diaries
turning off the tv and lighting candles for the dinner table
writing a new play, and reading it aloud
ripped jeans
pulpless quarters of lime and orange
new lampshades
writing in the wholefoods cafe
seeing people who you know, but they don't know you
finding out you have heaps of your birthday chocolate left
searching films for random cameos
strawberries bought for a bargain
feeling like you could run forever
knowing you have a lot to do
but it can wait.
Ah, sounds like a lovely weekend indeed...
ReplyDeleteCheers, my friend.

Love it, love it, love it.
ReplyDeleteI was thinking abouy what my perfect weekend would consist of and yours sounds like something I would enjoy! I love weekends when I don't have to work and can do the little jobs around the house and actually enjoy them, and then do whatever else I please. Bring on the time when I no longer have to work on the weekend!
ReplyDeleteThis sounds so wonderful. Though it may take a little work for me to manage a 10k :))) I like the idea though!
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to reading your tales of life in London. I've been away for 3.5 years and am so excited to be back. Congrats on your two year anniversary here!
Aaah this is wonderful imagery. Perfect for the lazy, charmed, relaxed weekend mood. :)
ReplyDeleteSounds wonderful!! So blissful waking up to sun and not to an alarm :)
ReplyDeleteHope you have a good week.

ReplyDeleteyour posts are always so simple, but so inspirational and warm and inviting, that I want to repeat and write on the exact same subject :) well, they say imitation is the best form of flattery, yes? love the tv-replaced-by-candles dinner. that's one of my favorite weekend treats.
ReplyDeleteI've been meaning to comment on this post for so long. I love it. So simple and yet it says so much. I might have to blatently copy you and made a similar list myself. Don't worry, all credit will go where it's due :-)
