mooch

 I’m having a quiet day today.
Being single in your sixties often means others are busy at weekends
Family time, days out. Nights in with bottles of wine and a take out..
Weekends can be fun if your single friends are about 
Mine arnt this week
So it’s been quiet.
I’ve mooched today, Been to Jackson’s ( the village garden centre) and bought things that looked nice but which I didn’t need. 
I bought an ice cream and shared it with the Welsh in the car park overlooking Prestatyn before coming home to watch some gung ho film on talking pictures
The twins have found my mother’s table clothes still airing on the clothes horse in the bedroom window and have made two hammocks in the top of it, here they laze some of their day away watching the activity on the lane.
Tonight I’m listening to loose Ends on radio 4 as I read today’s real treat Empire Magazine

  1. I do like a mooching day. I can spend hours being busy doing nothing! Sounds like the twins are enjoying a moochy day, too. xx

    Ah, the bliss of mooching, doing just what you choose to do that pleases you, and being far from any nay-sayers.
    Nice to have reinforced the love of the Welshes by sharing your ice cream with them. Wink wink, nudge, nudge!
    Hope the hammocks don't dump the kittens on the floor!
    Enjoy!

    Hugs!

  3. Sounds a peaceful, relaxing, and unhurried day. Simple pleasures hold so much. Love the "picture" of the kittens in their hammock!

    After all you have been doing and organising the last few weeks especially after your essay trauma, you deserve to recharge the batteries with a mooching quiet day. The re ally clever trick is to not feel guilty about it!

  7. A fairly busy quiet day! And as my mother would tell you, "the rest will do you good." [show us what you bought?]

  9. I guess now you can tell your "teacher therapist" you do rest and recharge. In very short bursts. :)

    I am also having a moochy day. I went to costco to buy eggs. My daughter always asks, so how much did eggs cost you today? Well today they were $76 dollars! You can’t mooch there and only come out with eggs.. I use Costco as my exercise routine. I walk all the isles. Now I am home and thinking of doing some cleaning. Maybe I will start up the robot vacuum cleaner.lol. Glad you are taking a bit of a brake but i understand how you feel being alone . At least we can talk to the pets. Gigi

    I thought to mooch was to bum off a person ?
    Obviously it doesn’t in Wales

  16. I learned something new about “to mooch” in British English. Different in American English. I learn so much from you!
