Hour by hour :: Friday 13th.

17.06

Teddy-feeling-poorly

7.30am :: Poor Teddy woke up sick on Friday morning, and wasn’t himself at all. He wouldn’t even get out of bed when I first went down to him, and just lay in his bed looking sad and sorry for himself. We spent the first half hour of the day having a little cuddle on the living room rug. Even though Teddy wasn’t quite himself, it wasn’t a bad way to start a Friday.

Iris

8am :: I took the little man out to stretch his legs, and admired the beautiful iris currently blooming in our garden.

Iced-latte Iced-coffee-Cider-with-Rosie

9am :: I know I’ve mentioned it a hundred times here recently, but I just can’t get enough iced lattes at the moment. And drinking them through stripy straws makes them taste all that much better. (For reference, I use this Bialetti mokka pot to brew my coffee. It’s brilliant!)

Cider-with-Rosie-morning

9.30am :: Teddy distracted me from my task of email-answering by bothering around my feet, looking cute. I try to blast my inbox early on in the day, or else I wind up answering them ad hoc throughout the day and get all in a muddle. Beginning to plan our wedding recently has taught me how important it is to stay on top of communication, and I’ve been trying to be more prompt when it comes to replying to emails.

Morning-yoga Doughnut-peach

10.00 :: A little morning Pilates, and post work-out snack.

Bedside-table

11am :: Side-table reading (Elizabeth David’s books are so lovely).

Cider-with-Rosie

11.30am :: I sat down to edit yesterday’s recipe video, and realised that I kind of looked a complete mess in the original intro and outro so decided to reshoot them. This photo was taken partway through my attempt to make myself look less of a mess. It really amazes me how bad fluffy hair looks on camera, and by ‘amazes’ I definitely mean ‘really annoys’. Sidenote: I need a haircut.

Editing-videos

12am :: Video editing involves a LOT of waiting…

Quinoa-salad-bowl

1.30pm :: Lunchtime! I last week bought a loaf of sunflower and linseed bread, and have been loving eating it with peanut butter. Also: grated carrot, cucumber, and quinoa salad, with a little dressing on the side. Yum. (p.s. I found my glasses! I thought I’d lost them a few weeks back, not long after losing my RayBans, and was so sad about it. But when we went hunting down the back of the sofa the other night for the Apple TV remote- which is small to the point of being invisible- and lo and behold, there they were! It made me very happy indeed!)

Wisteria Tea-reflection

3pm :: A break from staring at screens, and to notice the little things- wisteria creeping its way in through our front bedroom window, and beautiful bright afternoon light.

Cider-with-Rosie-work-setup

4.30pm :: The afternoon was spent recording a voiceover, which I actually did whilst wrapped up in the living room curtain because it gave the best sound quality. No photo of that though, so this more normal one will have to do instead ;)

Making-risotto

6pm :: Spring vegetable & chicken risotto a-cooking. (Making risotto in the summertime is one giant recipe for overheating. So much standing over the stove required!) Jason said that the risotto was his favourite I’ve ever made, but it looked so unappetising in the bowl I’ll spare you a photo…

Friday-night-beers

7pm :: Some very much needed end-of-week beers. We also drank a couple of those lemon flavoured beers, which were kind of amazing. Like faintly beer-flavoured lemonade. I’m not selling it, I know, but they were really were great!

Cider-with-Rosie-Teddy

8pm :: We spent the evening watching Orange is the New Black (we’re trying not to binge-watch it so as not to burn through the series too quickly) and snacking on popcorn. Teddy felt back to his usual self again, and alternated between snoozing by the back door and taking each and every toy out of his toy box. It was a lovely, relaxing one.

How was your weekend? :)

    I love risotto! But generally I cheat and don’t stir it constantly. Instead I just pour in and reduce the wine, then add the stock all in one go. Cover for about five minutes and give it a stir, then just repeat three times and you end up with creamy rice perfection!
    Oh, and you might think you look a mess, but I think you look beautiful. Your hair is lovely!

    Poor Teddy! I hope he’s feeling a lot better. It sounds like a lovely and chilled day. I couldn’t agree more about wedding planning making you more organised!

    I love the straws for your iced-coffee, you’ll have to let us know where they are from!

    Sounds like you had a lovely weekend. We had stunning weather here in Devon so Saturday was spent riding my ponies, walking the dogs and fitting in a wedding. Gorgeous weather makes all the difference – it was blissful!

  • Emily

    awh, what a lovely post. I hope that Teddy is feeling better! I will join you in the iced-latte love. I cannot get enough! And now I’m craving risotto…

    Looks like a lovely day. I hate it when my dog is sick, I feel so helpless.

  • http://seekingvictory.blogspot.com Nicole

    Oh I hate it when puppies are sick. I fret endlessly, all day, if (my) Ted doesn’t seem himself.
    Beautiful photos as always. It is a bit sad but you work day looks more enjoyable than my days off. Must do something to fix that.

    Sounds perfect. My Sunday was spent with the family on a day out and then takeaway in the evening.

    Lemon beer is my favourite! It’s so perfect for a summery schoolnight haha and I am also trying (and failing) to ration out my OITNB – it’s so difficult to do!

    I loved the video, the end result definitely made being wrapped up in a curtain worthwhile!

    Also, I LOVE your glasses! Where can I get a pair please?

    I’ve been drinking a lot of iced coffee lately. I much prefer making it at home then buying it out.

    That sound like a good day to me dear Rosie! Glad to know Teddy was feeling better at the end on the day, my bet is that he just wanted to watch Orange is the new black with you guys! ;) Oh and i personally love your messy fluffy hair like this! :) Much love lovely!

    My weekend consisted of working all day Saturday with a rather horrendous hangover, and Sunday I once again worked all day and then took my dad for fish and chips to celebrate Father’s Day. Lemon beer isouns so good. I am someone who tends to drink beer with a slice of lime anyway.
