Today, I realised it was Tuesday. “Hang on a minute,” I thought, “that means that yesterday was Monday, and that means Microblog Monday.” Yes, I completely forgot, as yesterday wasn’t really a day of the week, it was Boxing Day, the day after Christmas, the day when you don’t have to do anything, or you can go for a walk, or join the other millions at Boxing Day sales (we did briefly, but only because my husband was hankering for Indian food for lunch), or you can nap on the couch in the afternoon (also did this), or lie there watching old Dr Who episodes in anticipation of last night’s new Christmas Dr Who special. Yesterday, in fact, I remember walking past the stairs up to my almost-an-attic office and thinking, “no, I’ll do stuff there tomorrow,” without a speck of guilt, or a glimmer of realisation that Microblog Mondays were calling.
Personally, I’m glad Christmas is over, as all the hype dies down, and hopefully, now summer can begin. There can be walks and picnics and barbecues and summer salads, I can play around with my new camera, we can do some house maintenance, and get some Vitamin D (though not too much) in the sun, and – one of my favourite things about summer – stop hunching against the cold and wind, and stand tall and relaxed in some warmer weather. The usual New Year resolutions will occur, but that’s next week’s post for Microblog Mondays (as long as I don’t forget.)
But first, there’s the Christmas chocolate – oh, and the few mince pies left that I haven’t yet given away – to finish.
Yay for the latest Dr Who – thought of you watching it last night!

It’s still Boxing Day here, for two more hours, and it’s my sister’s birthday, and we were making dinner for her, so alas, there wasn’t a lot of down time. But I did spend a half hour reading on the couch. So there! Happy happy!

That sounds like a great day! I actually didn’t finish my post until earlier today and still managed to sneak it in. Sending warm wishes your way! 🙂

I’m glad you had a good celebration AND managed to squeeze in Doctor Who. I thought that was one of the best Christmas specials ever.

Love Boxing Day (although I have no desire to hit the Boxing Day sales)! I’ll admit the thought of it being the start to summer gives me pause, lol (that’s Victoria Day in May here!). For us, this week is probably peak enjoyment of winter, and all downhill from here on in until spring finally comes around.
