22February, Sunday: Spoke to my daughter-in-law, Beata, this morning. They still think they’ll be moving back to the states in April, but aren’t 100% sure yet. Can’t wait to find out the exact date, so I can make arrangements to meet them.
Went to 10:00 Mass. Tony was the celebrant. It was nice to see someone I knew. Afterward there was coffee and biscuits in the church hall. I spoke to three different women and had nice conversations.
Talked so much I forgot to get coffee and biscuits, so I walked to a little café. It’s one I hadn’t been to before. The typical breakfast is beans, tomato, egg, mushrooms, has browns, sausage, bacon and toast. The vegetarian version is the same, without the sausage and bacon. By the way, bacon is what we in the states call Canadian bacon. I ordered the veg breakfast and realized that I never do eat the egg or mushrooms. I LOVE the tomato, potatoes and beans. And of course the toast. Went to pay and had no cash—I’d given it at church. And this café didn’t take credit cards. I said, I’ll leave my wallet here and run down to the bank and get money out. She laughed at me and said I didn’t need to leave anything, she trusted that I’d be back. How nice. I’ll have to give her a sticker and cheese head.
Then I went to Starbucks for another cup of coffee—I’d only had one at the café and wanted another. Sat there and read a while. Nice and relaxing. When I came home I started laundry again—it just takes forever. I can’t imagine how people with families do it. Worked on my taxes some more, but not seriously.
Chatted with Jill awhile and that’s all I did. Felt good to be lazy.
