Knock wood, (today isn't over yet but) no Septic explosions!
We had a wondrously, amazingly relaxing day.
Slept in, had Fruit Loops for breakfast (a guilty pleasure) and then Marcel made the most delicious lunch for his Mom, Sister and the two of us. It was a belated Easter dinner, so we has a roast Ham, with roasted veg (rainbow carrots, rainbow potatoes and asparagus). It. Was. Delicious!
After that we sat down in the living room and had a belated Birthday cake for his Sister. It was her often requested cake: a Cola Chocolate cake. It's unbelievably good! And this is either the 3rd or 4th time we've made it for her birthday.
There's something to be said for the comfort and familiarity of a the same meals, at the same times of years. With the same people and the fame food. It might sound lazy, but to me it's in itself a tradition that you develop over time and make your own with those you love. Why else go through with it?

Then this evening, we took it easy and had some pea soup and a sandwich with left-over ham. It could not have capped off a more perfect, lazy cottage weekend day.
And we still have a day and a half to go.
