I woke up to a sunny morning today and decided it was a great idea to just putter around.
put – ter
verb (North American)
to occupy oneself in a pleasant manner, doing a number of small tasks, or not concentrating on anything in particular.
The first thing I did today was pour myself a cup of tea. I am on my third “cuppa” as I write this.
A nice cup of tea, in the mug my friend, author Jo Hiestand sent me.
Then I read today’s Ottawa Citizen newspaper.
- Ontario is having an election on June 12. Six weeks of campaigning! Speeches and debates and mud-slinging!
- 90 couples renewed their wedding vows at church yesterday.
- University of Ottawa has pioneered a new treatment for heart valves.
- The Toronto Raptors lost game 7 in basketball.
- The Ukraine (a mess).
The Ottawa Citizen, May 5, 2014.
It was time for breakfast. A second cup of tea with scrambled eggs and shredded zucchini.
Delicious!
While eating I got the daily crossword puzzle completed.
An easy one. They get more difficult as the week goes on.
I worked on a jigsaw puzzle as well.
A Scottish port.
Finished my latest painting.
I am trying to do at least one painting a month. This one is April’s.
And played Words with Friends with my daughter.
She usually wins!
It’s only 11 a.m.!!! Did I mention that I was awake at 5:45 this morning?
What do you do when you “just putter around”?
Well, I have to meet my daughter for lunch and I also have to think of how I am going to occupy myself for the rest of the day.
Have a fabulous day! – Maureen
