This week has been weather-wise the most beautiful week I can remember for a really very long time. Today is spring equinox, meaning the day has caught up with the night and they are both equally long. This is also considered the first true spring day.Considering that I have made progress in my work and the fact that the weather has turned, I decided to take a "mental health day", as I used to call them while living in the US. "A day off" to sooth my mind and soul. So today has been my kind of Friday.
What does such a day look like?
I slept long and enjoyed a good cup of coffee while reading the newspaper.
I took a drive by the ocean.
The drive took me to the city where I took a walk.
Later I stopped by the post office to pick up a package containing long awaited summer fashion.
On the way home I went by the store to pick up my weekly groceries.
When I returned to the house, my weekly surface mail from Ireland was in the mail box, waiting for me.
And now I am off to do some gardening and to enjoy the wonderful spring weather, as in these parts of Europe one never knows how long it will last. Happy Friday everyone.;)

You used it so wisely, my friend. Weekly mail is such a nice tradition. I can imagine your anticipation each time you tear open a package. :)
