This morning started off well. The kids had slept all night. They do that even when they have colds! I woke up and Alice was preparing me eggs, bacon, fresh squeezed orange juice (just a little bit!) and scones with jam and devonshire cream. Laura was making us both a latte. Isaac is healthy and was quietly playing making towers and knocking them over then clapping.
On my ride in, the sun was shining and it was a pleasant warm - not too hot to make you sweaty, but just enough to let you ride in shorts without a coat. I was early of course so I had time to admire the tulips and watch the swans and ducks in the river. The construction is all done so I rode on the nice bike-only paths while strangers greeted me with a smile and a nod.
At work I was able to get the work that I wanted to and help a couple of other people solve their difficult problems too. Since it was a nice day and we were ahead of schedule my boss took us out for lunch with a beer on the patio. We discussed how management had seen the presentation my boss had worked on and we had their full support. Other groups were offering whatever we needed. They were even proactively fixing issues we had not had time to look into!
I left early and decided to meet up with Laura and the kids at Hogs Back. We played for a while and then ate a nice snack before a leisurely ride home. We had bbq - beef and tuna steaks, as well as a nice greek salad and some Crème brûlée we had already in the fridge. We ate outside listening to the birds and enjoying the lack of bugs. The kids were so tidy we didn't even have to wipe them down!
After that we read each child a story while they patiently waited for their turn. At that point the baby sitter came over and allowed us to pop out to watch the latest movie we were dying to see. Afterwards some drinks and second dessert allowed us to catch up on each of our day and discuss the upcoming trip that was already planned and taken care of. It will be lovely.
Then home to bed and to get ready to start another wonderful day.
