How have you relaxed today?

[SpacePinto]

I watched "King-Size Homer", one of my all time favorite episodes of The Simpsons

Went on a trip to a home-decor store (Dunelm) and bought a pretty patterned pillowcase, (ostensibly for my kid but I would have it too!) then got some inexpensive pillow-inners from Primark and cheap cases from Asda (set of two for just 2.00 pounds) in a red set and turmeric yellow set; oh, Primark are also selling plain velvet square cushion covers too, only 2.50 pounds, absolute bargain, got a few in red and rich teal.

Now I have created a nest of autumnal comfort for story-telling or just snuggling: a quilt that I made earlier this year (with rich orange and spice colours) LOTS of pillows and cushions in jewel tones - it is heavenly! In fact I am now sat amongst it as I type this on my laptop!

Cushions: a game changer - seriously.

Inexpensive pillows and cheap pillow cases in happy, bright colours - go buy some, fill your bed / sofa with them and SNUGGLE!!!

SO relaxing!!

That sounds amazing! I love cushions too, it's so satisfying to curl up among them with a nice cup of tea.

I've been inspired by the Autumn too and had a quiet morning, baking my first ever cake while enjoying the birdsong outside. It has a rich, warm, spicy flavour and some orange zest and juice to liven it up a bit. I was hoping to get a small, clean slice for the all-important taste test and take a nice, professional-looking photo of it, but the inside is very crumbly, so instead, here's a naff phone photo of an eager Jacob sheep making towards the fruity goodness.

And a picture of the cake, whole, cooling in the tin. The top is a wee bit overdone, so I may give it a few minutes less next time, rather than sticking rigidly to the instructions in the recipe book.

By coming here! It's been a while again, but now I'm finally on the couch after a long work day, and I feel like catching up on pony business.

In that case spending time with such a person, & you love him, is not going to be boring at all. you could watch paint dry with such a person & not be bored...

Super late reply (sorry!), but that is definitely true!

I watched Goodfellas, pretty good.

That cake looks delicious, Miniature Sheep!

Went to the Polish deli today and couldn't decide what pastries to buy, so ended up buying MANY! Got home, made a fresh coffee and ate a couple *oink* *oink*

Nothing quite like sitting down and settling with a brew after dashing about town!

[Glistening Rainlight]

I finally figured out that the source of my constant migraines over the last couple of months has been a number of candles I'd had nearby, even though I'd been putting them in plastic wrap thinking that would help. I moved those out, so now that I'm feeling better I'm doing my body a favor by finally getting some proper sleep while I recover.

I took a bus all the way to the end of the line near the southeast corner of the town, then I walked east along the highway until reaching the highway ramp next town, where I turned north under the overpass and walked to the railway station where I took a train home. A nice long walk in drizzly October weather. And then I had a cup of supermarket-brand instant coffee with powdered creamer, because the cheap factor somehow makes it even comfier to me.
