What lies within, is too many Roses Chocolates, right now.

"What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters to what lies within us."
Oliver Wendell Holmes

Oh well, that's fine, because the inner peace is working quite well just now. I had a long day off, by getting up at a reasonable time, taking a pile of kids up to the ski slopes and leaving them there, remembering on my way in to town that what lies before me is a 6hr driving day on Monday and that I better hire a car and go to the library and borrow a talking book. I took out 'Single to Paris' by Alexander Fullerton - never heard of it, but it is set during the resistance in the 2nd World War and that does lie behind us, though we certainly haven't learnt how to avoid war. I've never borrowed a talking book behind, but reckon it will be a great way to pass a journey. Will see how that goes.
I did the shopping for the week, came home and had coffee with Spook and then lunch with Steve and his wee daughter Talia, made the dinner + soup for tomorrows lunch, laid the fire, and the day seemed to go on and on, as did the evening when there seemed plenty of time. We ate a rare meal together and watched TV all night, which included a beautiful wee Maori film, quarter of a James Bond, some Friends (still makes me laugh) and Derren Brown. Spook and I were too sleepy to manage much else, but it was nice to all be in the same room and found lot's to talk about around what we were watching.
