Today can be described as a day of leisure with only a bit of work sprinkled into it. This morning was wonderful and sunny but the clouds have gathered again and they are promising rain towards the evening. It doesn't really matter, however, since T. is busy playing Saboteur on his PS3 and I have spent some time putting up the new roll-down curtain we bought at IKEA this morning. The next step will be to do something about the new bedside lamps, which we actually bought three of — an additional one to put in the dark corner above the sofa in the living room.

Our favourite mule, who doubles as an excellent pillow, is no doubt sleeping his beauty sleep, and because of the cloudy weather he's not doing it outside on the grass as he was a few days ago.
