quiet before the storm

I try and take Saturday's off. Sort of, anyway.

It doesn't always quite work out like that, of course. My working week is not really an exact science at all. But I try and make a Saturday a quieter day.

And today was certainly that. Albeit I was down at the church a fair amount of time.

We hold a Christmas Coffee Morning at this time of year. Just that. No stalls, no tables full of baking, or anything else like that. People have enough to do without imposing more.

It's just a Coffee Morning. No fund-raising agenda or anything else. Pure and simple coffee (or tea) and a chance to meet and chat.

I was there the bulk of the morning doing just that. Coffee and chat. With different folk. At length and at leisure. I don't know how it's viewed by other folk, but I enjoy the time!

The afternoon I pottered with a DVD I'm trying to create; and read a book. And didn't do much else!

It was that sort of day. Cold and wet and pretty miserable outside. Warm and relaxing inside.

A chance to unwind, reflect and relax. And hear myself up for tomorrow and all that it brings.

The quiet before the storm.
