This is it! It is proper hot weather and I am in my hammock in the garden, up beside Jack's wee grave which feels quite companionable. I have done some pottering around the house but have now decided to blog and then read my book for a while, because how often do you get the chance to read outside in Scotland? Despite feeling slightly uneasy at my lack of productive activity, I am loving this time. The washing is drying fast on the line, moving in a very gentle breeze. There are butterflies flitting about, and the pears are ripening on the branches above me. Over the last few days of hot weather I have been doing errands in the morning and then relaxing in the afternoons. I have been out for lunch with Davie. To my surprise and pleasure a few of my (unforgivably neglected by me) friends have popped in to see me, probably having seen my car in the drive, and we have chatted and drunk cool drinks in the garden. It was fun.
Inspired by this I have fired off a couple of texts to other friends. This is what I never find time to do in term time, not even at the weekends nowadays. I just work and then try to rest. No wonder I was so exhausted in February, I really need to get my work / life balance sorted out.
