Dark Sunday

Very, very early morning! I had very sore shoulders from the poppy pod popping - ha ha ha, sounds fun, doesn't it?

Anyway, my shoulders were really very painful, so I took several muscle relaxants - and slept like a log! It's very tempting to start taking them every night ... 

Well, I've put the last load in the machine, it should finish just in time. I considered starting the bread rolls, but there wasn't enough time.

I have to wait until ten, before I can start the bread dough, then make the stew ... 

I passed the time collecting more poppy pods. Its really soothing ... cleaning up the plants, harvesting pods, making the bed look nice ... thinking about work ... making myself miserable ... 

Bread rolls are baked - they're somewhat dry, and a mission to shape! Kitchen is clean. For the stew, I just threw all the stewing meat into the pot, let it brown a bit, then topped it up with water ... I don't feel like chopping potatoes or carrots or anything ... I'll just toss in some frozen veggies at the end.

This is what my poppy bed looks like now ... hardly any pods left!

And look what's started to bloom this weekend! These came from Rose's garden ...

This is the view from my veranda today. Not much change. I spent most weekend with my poppies.

Work continued to intrude on my mind - I just couldn't shake it. But I think I've solved my problem.

Mippies are in, I've bathed - I was too lazy to cook dinner, so I just had a sausage roll. Now I'm just watching a bit of Golden Girls ... I'm still too lazy to put the clean cover on the duvet. I'll have to turn off the PC again tonight ...
