Lazy Sunday Afternoon

It was raining when I woke up yesterday morning. It hasn't done much of that recently, but it immediately made me feel less like getting out of bed. So I eventually got up, made some breakfast and brought the tray back upstairs.

While sipping our mugs of tea, the wife and I discussed our plans for the day. Since the rain scuppered a lot of our ideas, I suddenly came up with something we hadn't done for a long time.

Since England were ignominiously ejected from the World Cup, and Maria Sharapova was knocked out of Wimbledon (surely the only reason to watch tennis), there was nothing of note on TV. No Grand Prix this weekend, no MotoGP, no DTM race, and not even Clarkson on BBC2 in the evening. The Tour de France is boring as hell, and Sky show only kids movies during the day, so what were we to do?

We ended up going to Blockbuster and renting a few movies, then spending the rest of the day curled up on the couch with corn chips and ice cream. It was lazy, completely unproductive, a little romantic, and very enjoyable too.
