Dearest Diary,

I cannot deny that I have had a most leisurely afternoon. Although I am ashamed to admit it, I did not rise in time for breakfast, but in fact slept all the way to lunch. It is a rare morning that I can take advantage of such freedom. The day seemed the better for it. This was however not without being awakened by Lady Pigeon in the wee hours of the morning when she heard a carriage pass by and declared it morning. Though right she may have been, it was not conceded by the sun quite yet and therefore, I insisted she go back to sleep. It took a bit of coaxing but I was eventually successful.

Meanwhile the rest of the day proved absolutely delightful, despite the fact that there were numerous chores to be completed. There was a letter or two that arrived at the estate which gave reason for distraction and of course the weekly services with the closest of friends. Whenever the services arrive earlier than usual, it has become our custom to share a meal afterwards and it was most delicious this evening without being too abundant. For this I am grateful.

I have vowed to make many changes and I feel it has been a most successful week on that account. I am truly Happy! I pray that such Happiness continues on the morrow...
