If there is one thing I love the most about having a bit of time off work it is a day where we have nothing planned. I love it even more when it is one of those wintry days where the sun is bright and there is a thin layer of frost on the roof; days like that call for long walks and hot tea.

There is nothing like starting the day with a cup of tea and a flick through magazines. I picked up the latest Women's Health at the weekend for added motivation, but, honestly, a beauty or lifestyle magazine works just as well for me! Tea wise it is usually a cup of Twinnings Everyday first thing, but I am trying to up the antioxidants, so this green tea with mint (below) is just the ticket too!
:: 8.00am
Breakfast time. I can honestly say that breakfast is my favourite meal of the day. I do mix things up and have porridge or toast, but mostly I reach for my trusty Greek yoghurt with honey and granola, it is super yummy and good for you and fills me up for a good few hours too.

Having decided last night that I would pop over to see L for tea and a dog walk at 10am I lazily head up stairs, armed with my new Lush BB Seaweed face-mask that L brought round for me on Boxing Day! I have never bought one single thing from Lush - slapped wrist for me. The reason for that is mostly down to never having one local to where I live (no, I have not discovered on-line shopping yet...honest!). Mask on, YouTube playing my 'Watch Later' playlist, I am set for 15 minutes of sitting time before my 'must-have-a-quick-shower-now-because-it-is-almost-9am-and-I-have-to-leave-soon' rush. Lucky for me L delays 'kick off' time to 10.30am - phew, make-up can now be applied with a slower hand!



^^can we just note the dog munching on melting ice in the background^^
:: 12.30pm
Back at L's I have my very muddy boots cleaned by A (thanks!) and am on my way back home to Joe, who I left making music and looking after the house (a very important job!).
:: 1.30pm
Joe and I enjoy a lunch of hot ciabatta with olive oil and balsamic vinegar (and maybe a slice of left over cake too) then we are off to our separate rooms for guitar playing/blog creating for a bit.
:: 2.30pm
I am working on a new blog layout at the moment and attempt to throw down some ideas with water-colour which I need to scan in to Photo Shop, but being useless with our wireless printer/scanner I have to drag Joe out of the 'man-cave'... he is so good with these things and has the patience of a saint when it comes to helping me. Personally, I would have thrown the scanner out the window in about 2 minutes!
