Co-ndiments (Day 14)

It was a quiet Sunday in our home. We started with some exercise (3km round the pool and up and down the patio), moved indoors for a streamed church service via FB live, had a slow breakfast. Then everyone moved to the workshop to refurbish the basketball hoop and backboard, followed by lunch, a nap and lie down with Le Tat.


Then it was out with the drill to put up the basketball hoop and enjoy tea and home-made muffins and the hammock. And a chat with the neighbour over the wall. 


Chuckle of the day was the attempt to get a ball out of the tree in the back garden using the pool cleaning brush. Take a close look at the protective mask on her face (hee hee)!


And lastly, I planted some seeds in hope. I am notoriously bad at growing seeds but hey, a great opportunity to give it another go!


We finished off with supper and the BEST movie ever: Hidden Figures. What an inspirational story of three women who challenged all the norms to become the women who made the first American in space possible, and then continued to contribute to the NASA space programme!  Wow! Definitely a great watch with and for kids. It's an excellent conversation starter about how the rights of women and different races have changed since the 60s. What brave ladies to take a stand to achieve their dreams and speak out for others' rights too.

So why "condiments"? Well, condiments are sauces or things that add flavour to a meal. And the things that added flavour for me today included being together, planting, being creative, learning, resting, praying. I hate to say it, but I think I could use hashtag-blessed when describing today.

PS: Doesn't mean kids didn't argue!  :)
