It is 7.15am on Monday 15th April 2013.<\/strong> <\/p>\n

Paul is up, I can hear him in the kitchen; he\u2019ll be making a cup of tea for us.
\nBen has just gone for his shower; I can hear the water running. He doesn\u2019t take long.
\nI remembered it is time to join Alexa with her lovely meme Simply a Moment<\/a>.
\nI lie here in my warm and cosy bed and think while Ben showers.<\/p>\n

I can see out of the window that the day is starting with an overcast sky but at least it is not raining. I\u2019ll be able to get a couple of things done in the garden this morning.
\nPaul & I worked so hard over the weekend building the new wardrobes. We got them finished and put everything back in side them. There will be rearranging to do but that can wait for a day or two. We were both aching and tired when we fell into bed last night.
\nWe will make the sliding doors later in the week or at the weekend or wait for Ben to have a day at home.
\nThe room has been painted and has new carpet. It is looking very tidy and has that lovely ‘new’ smell. Paul has his work desk in the room so it will make a better place for him to work particularly as he will be working at home from May to September on the new contract.
\nPepsi is here on the bed with me, she is the most relaxed, comfy, cosy dog in the world. She snuggles into her blanket. She likes to have her head somewhere on my body. I don\u2019t mind a bit, she is so still, she keeps me still and warm. I wont be getting up for a while yet. I ache so much and my eyes hurt.
\nYesterday when Paul & I were putting the fixings in the wardrobe, (I pass the bits he needs, he does the techy bit with the screw driver), we looked at each other and one of us said, \u201cwe have been doing this all our lives haven\u2019t we?\u201d
\nThe shower has stopped, Ben will be out in a moment, times up.
\nI turn over and pull the lovely white covers over me. Pepsi rearranges herself, her head is on my hip now and I close my eyes, hoping that I remember my Simple Moment. I\u2019ll go over it in my head as I drift off to sleep again: tired, aching, happy, tidy, together, working, laughing, making our house a home.<\/p>\n

Later:<\/strong> One of the things I wanted to do in the garden was prune the hydrangea, I noticed this lovely skeleton before I became enthusiastic with the secateurs.<\/em><\/p>\n

There are some lovely Simple Moments over on Alexa’s blog today, if you have a moment, make tea, eat cake, and read some. Thanks Alexa.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
