Weekend Rap-Up!

Linking up to Patty's Weekend Wrap-Up!

The weekend is over, it came and then went

Why isn't it longer? That's my constant lament

With 48 hours to use and abuse

and time to chill out, relax and let loose

You'd think I could get all those chores completed

and still have some time for my feet to get treated

at the spa round the corner? But the days just flew by

I have so much undone, my plans went awry!

It started with sanding and scraping the trunk

The one that long been abandoned as junk

Once it was smoothened bit by small bit

I got out my brushes and started on it

I painted a border of black on the top

Inside of which my new painting I'd drop

And decoupage it with a glue called Mod Podge

To hold it in place so it doesn't dislodge

Then I drew with white charcoal some art on one side

Nothing fancy or showy but I think it's alright

I stopped at that point, I had things to fulfill

I'll get back to the painting, I certainly will.

Then later that day I went for a lecture

On the origin of Sanskrit and Indian culture

About Brahmi and Pali the professor drawled

Spellbinding and thrilling it had me enthralled

I came back enlightened about linguistics

And metre and rhyme and ancient phonetics

On Sunday I cooked, my uncle came by

I made matar panir and stuffed okra fry

Then I lazed and I blogged and then shopped for some lamps

My diya collection I had to revamp
The locksmith who said he'd come by on Sunday

Never showed up at all to my sad dismay

So the mystery box still stays locked and sealed

The contents of which yet have not been revealed

So that was my weekend, some this and some that

Some eating, some shopping and time for chit chat

I finally finished the article I started

In which some ideas for design in schools I imparted

I went to the shop and got some art framed

To send to a blogger....who shall stay unnamed :-)!!

I hope that the weekend brought joy to you too

And it was restful and calm with no hullabaloo!
