You know you are relaxing when ...

A day when nothing is planned, no shopping, no appointments, pottering around the house and garden.

Sunday evenings, when no matter how busy our day has been, we make time to relax, reading, doing crosswords and so on with a ?to hand.

When you wake up naturally feeing refreshed - no alarm, no phone, no dog whining to go out , no DH needing help - just drifting into consciousness when it is light and (if possible), everybody else is asleep.
If only.

You fall asleep in front of the television while a programme you really wanted to see is on :-)

Eglantine Just 'shows to go yer' that we are all different!

Yes, GN is a big part of my relaxing time these days!

When I am cuddling my grandson

Same for me N & G , nothing relaxes me more than reading with no tv or radio. Substitute dog snoring for dog trumping and that's me.
Also the moment when I get back from dog walking and have my coffee with GN.

Gosh Imperfect, for me doing the Sunday lunch was the megastess point of my week, even though I taught in one of the toughest areas in London! I turned into an evil witch. The family knew better than to come into the kitchen when that was going on! I wonder now why I felt I had to do it?

I know what you mean about the second cup of coffee though. I've been up and about and now it's time for the second cup of the morning.......and Gransnet (smile)

Mmmm ...an after-dinner liqueur with coffee definitely does it for me too. And a wrapped chocolate so we can have a silly / fiddling and nonsensical ' What I made with my wrapper' game too.

Used to be the ritual, veg prep and cooking smells of a family Sunday roast, but those days are rare now.

when I'm reading a book in the middle of the afternoon.

when there is nothing but the sound of the dog snoring ( no tv or radio)

when we're still sat at the table chatting and enjoying a coffee and liqueur after a good meal.

When I haven't had to leave the house all day
