Where oh where did the weekend go?
It’s Sunday evening. I haven’t even started dinner and I don’t know where this weekend went.
What I didn’t do this weekend…
- Sewing
- Knitting
- My long marathon training run (my left hip is SORE, but I think it may be from doing something silly at pilates, rather than the running)
- Housework
- Proper catering of any sort whatsoever
What I did do…
- Failed the good Swiss housewife test (again!). I mean just look at the list above. No chance!
- Swam in the lake
- Watched the new Woody Allen movie Midnight in Paris (the jury is out….it’s not a gem, but there are flashes of brilliance along the way. It totally bamboozled my 12 year old)
- Ran in the Pink Ribbon run/walk in Zürich (but only 4km)
- Ate at my favourite restaurant from 20 years ago and discovered it is still every bit as good. No idea why I haven’t been there for about 15 years!
- Went to church
- Listened to rain lashing down on the roof and enjoyed being inside in the dry
- Went shopping in Zürich for all the things I forgot to buy on Friday when I was there.
And more to the point…HAD A GREAT WEEKEND!
Normal service will resume tomorrow!

Well I should be envious of the lovely meal out, the swim in the lake or the Woody Allen film but I really want to experience the being inside listening to the rain lashing down! I have had a similarly non crafty weekend but it`s starting tomorrow. It has to start tomorrow!

You made me laugh with the ‘good Swiss housewife test’.
Sometimes is better to be idle and indulge in our lazyness, I think it is our body (and mind) telling us to slow down a bit.
Seems to me that you did a lot anyway!

Oh, Helen, I don’t know – figures pretty high on the “good weekend” scale, I should think, definitely sounds as if you put yourself first, which is a positive 😉
