I spent the sunny Saturday puttering about the garden, where the bulbs are putting on a lovely display.
Saw a phoebe, briefly, but no more activity at the nest site.
Also, I cleaned my office, a major achievement. As my reward, my husband loaded up the DVD player with Pride & Prejudice (the recent film). It was his idea to watch it again.
I surprised him on Sunday morning with this Easter basket, and the gift of his favourite sort of licorice.
The happy and festive morning started out bright but grew grey and blustery while we were at church. During the service, we had surprise visitors: a pair of chicks, who had a starring role in the children's homily. After the service, their handler, our rector's son, let me hold one--so soft!
It wasn't a good outdoor day, so we spent the afternoon and early evening watching Amadeus: The Director's Cut, and the assorted documentaries associated with it.
Another grey morning this Easter Monday, not a problem as I've got indoor things to do. We expect a significant warm-up as the week goes on.
I'm frantically shopping for 17th century films today, for research purposes as well as entertainment. I've decided I absolutely must own The Draughtsman's Contract, and will try to obtain a copy of an even more obscure film featuring William and Mary. Fingers crossed!
I'm expecting a crucial parcel from London, another research related item...I hope hope hope it arrives this week, so I can stop obsessing about it.
