Munching the lunch in the sun....

Good evening from this side of the planet.. It's past 7:30 PM here. And no one in the family is hungry for dinner yet. We would generally have dinner around 7, but things don't stick to time when it's holiday . We don't mind a late night dinner and late waking up next day. My younger one has no exam in the morning tomorrow. It starts in the noon and so, she can leave the house late after brunch. Yes, brunch has become the norm these days since the break started. We have some good delicious food around 11:45 in the afternoon. And we are good to go till dinner. The brunch is generally what I cook in the morning for my younger daughter before she leaves for her college. Rest three of us are in vacation mood. I am the only one who wakes at early hours with my daughter. I take a handful of nuts in the morning. That's enough to give me energy for my morning chores and exercises. And keeps me full till brunch time. If we feel hungry, we have enough seasonal fruits to munch on. . It's the season of juicy oranges, grapes, guavas and strawberries. Even fresh peanuts with skin are there available in the market. You get then either boiled or roasted well so that you can easily peel the skin and enjoy them. Today it was a gloomy morning to begin with and I was not happy about it. But after 1 PM, the sky cleared up and we had some bright sun in the afternoon. We all put rug in one of the balconies that gets good sun in the afternoon and got ourselves soaked in sun for few hours in the afternoon. We chatted, laughed and kept munching on the oranges, guavas and strawberries. Later my younger one got some roasted peanuts too. And we kept munching in the sun. Now, we all feel full and have no appetite for dinner . But we plan to stay up late to watch a movie together ( not decided on the movie yet). I am sure that we will feel hungry later and it would be quick to get some dinner ready for that That's all for now. Hope all is well in your myLot corner. Stay happy and healthy

It sounded like a lovely day with your family. I like days when I don't need to rush and can relax. Enjoy your holiday and I hope the sun continues to shine.

Thank you Valerie! I am going lazy and relaxed in this vacation doing only the minimum that I need to do. Spent some time watching shows and movies with my elder daughter today. She is introducing me to Korean shows and bands

It's been the same with us. We hardly go to eat outside or order food from outside. We love our home cooked meals. Sometimes we take it in our balcony or terrace if weather is nice to enjoy the ambience

It's nice to be able to get out of routine during holidays. It makes it seem a bit more special.

Thank you. Sometimes going lazy and slow is the best way to spend your vacation. We felt so good staying away from work and gadgets. And just engage in simple chatting.
