A Day With Darlene

Yesterday I went out with a colleague and we had a nice walk at the park and said hello to the sheeps and then had a lovely brunch at a local cafe here in Batheaston. We both had the salmon dish which was really divine. We also managed to go to the city centre and went window shopping at the charity shops and failed. We bought things instead of just looking at them. Luckily they are cheaper than the ones that are brand new. We had coffee and did groceries before we parted ways. I am very happy to have human interaction yesterday. But I think it was too exhausting. I felt bad around evening and Andre rescued me by ordering me nice comfort soup and fried rice. He takes care of me despite the distance thank God for that.

Sounds like a good day for you. What items did you get from the charity shops?

@flapiz curious to see the GunsnRoses denim jacket. You are talking about the band GnR right?

@rakski True. Although I usually keep to myself this proved to be a good interaction. I choose who I interact too. Some people can be too toxic. @marlina You're right with that.

@RebeccasFarm Well Batheaston is pretty nice. It is very rural.

This plate looks so good, but it's A LOT of food. Andrea is such a good guy.

It was a lot indeed but we didn't feel guilty eating it as it was all organic and we did manage to walk before eating. Andrea is an awesome person.

@LadyDuck I would love to eat it more often but they can be pricey when they are full priced. Sale is the way to go!

@flapiz I like a lot smoked salmon. The next week Aldi has a special promotion on smoked salmon for Easter. I am going to buy for sure.

What a nice guy you have, for him to look after you even when he’s not there! I’m glad you had a fun day despite how you felt afterward.

@flapiz There’s nothing worse than having to work when you have a migraine. Thankfully, you survived. I saw on your Facebook story (yesterday,? The day before?) where you posted a photo with another girl. Was that other girl Darlene?

Your brunch looks like it was delicious. And it sounds like you had a great day, which is nice. We had cold, drizzly rain all day, it snowed a bit this morning, but not for very long. Glad you got to go, but sorry you are exhausted from it.

Hi Marie. I do hope the weather gets better for you. For me, doing something on my day off apart from sleeping and household chores is indeed a treat.

@MarieCoyle Today my migraine is finally easing off so I am a bit happy. I did have to send my boyfriend off so mildly sad but we at least have a happy cook up. Teamwork.

@flapiz The sun is trying so hard to shine here. However, we do have a strong possibility of bad thunderstorms and even tornadoes later on today, but you never know for sure about tornadoes--they have a mind of their own! It's nice to have a break, I hope you enjoy your day.

The virtual world has taken over and human contact is becoming rarer by the day Good you got to interact but seems you over did it

For an introvert I really did try. It seems I caught a bug somewhere. Even today I do not feel well.

Sometimes it is good to spend time with a friend or a colleague. I don't remember when the last time I had done it.

I think I did. Today I am doing the opposite and just chilling doing nothing much so tomorrow when I get back to work i'll feel refreshed.

Yep it gets a bit lonely here on my own. My fiance lives on another island so mostly I am on my own apart from my landlady. She's on holiday this week which gives me a bit of freedom but the house is too quiet.
