Today was pretty much a perfect day for me. Why? This is what I did:
—Reading (about 50 pages of Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy, by Helen Fielding, the third instalment in the series);
—Writing (350 words on my new novel);
—A long walk, during which we got caught in the summer rain. But hey, it’s only water.
—Art (including a quick sketch of an imaginary cat I am calling Michael, pictured below);
—And a dinner cooked perfectly for me by my husband, Gordon, to end the day.
In the words of the famous Australian movie, The Castle, said in awe-struck voice: “How’s the serenity?”

Happy 2014, Caron. I love the cat drawing. Cats are pretty much the coolest animals ever. 😛
Happy 2014 to you, too. Yes, cats are the coolest and the weirdest animals.
Caron – Oh, this sounds like a wonderful day! So glad! And I like your drawing very much. All the best with your novel!
Yes, it was a wonderful day. Thanks for your kind wishes.
You shared a beautiful day with your husband and spent time doing the things you love. What a perfect day!
I love your perspective on getting caught in the rain:-) Best wishes with your novel- I am keep my eyes toward your blog for more updates.
Hey, thanks. I never mind getting caught in the rain too much: as a friend said many years ago, “It’s only water, and an umbrella just gives you the impression that you’re not caught in it because it keeps one part of you dry”. I will keep you posted on the novel!
