Day Off: Lazy But Productive

Since it is a rainy summer day here in UK, I have decided to keep generally indoors today. As usual I did some laundry as the washing machine is busy on weekends. Week day offs are perfect time for me to do them. I had to use the dryer due to the weather. I also decided to iron them. Then I did a bit of vacuuming in my bed room as it gathered some cobwebs and dust while I was away on holiday. I also did some online training for my work and some Italian lessons on Duolingo. Then I chilled a lot. Ideally it is not what I want to do on my day off as I wanted to be on the go but I guess sometimes a bit of forced relax is not bad.

Relaxing time by time is very good for our body and our spirit. I also use Duolingo, I am trying to improve my German, but this is a language that I do not arrive to like.

I would never try learning German. It is a nightmare to pronounce. I will stick to Latin languages instead

@flapiz German is the most important of the three Swiss languages, I speak the other two (Italian and French) I can understand written German, but speaking is a nightmare.

I don't like going anywhere in the rain if I can help it. Other drivers aren't as careful as they could be when the roads are wet. I hope you enjoyed your day.

I did have a pleasant day. A bit lonely though as I have gotten used to company.

What variety of tomato is that? I grew tomatoes here in the Philippines but that is a different variety and I think it's a good one.

I was learning French on Duolingo and found it very useful and quite fun to do. Good luck with your Italian.

Thank you Judy! I am still at the earlier lessons so it is still quite boring but I do love a good Duolingo progression.

You did enough staying indoors. And you well deserve some lazy relaxing time on off days. I try to keep my Sunday lazy and relaxing with nothing much to do.

Maybe relaxing will just work to energize you more than usual. That wouldn’t be half bad.

I sometimes force myself out of the house but today I decided to rest. Last week I was doing too much. My body needs to recover from the long walks and treks.
