Another Day in Paradise….

It’s been one of those lovely early summer days here. Lots of sunshine, but not too hot. I’m sat here right now with the window open and the sounds of birds and the breeze drifting in. The trees are in full leaf, the grass is thickly emerald, shrubs are coming into flower.
In a week or so, the midges and mozzies will arrive, and there’ll be no more sitting by open windows then. Until then, I’m enjoying this.

My health seems to be improving, very slowly and in starts. I was able to get out today, set up the newly-arrived compost bin (courtesy of Dumfries & Galloway Council – thanks guys!) and do some well-overdue weeding and tidying in the garden. An hour or so of that sufficiently exhausted me – and knackered my knees – to warrant two hours in bed afterwards recovering. But it was more than I had managed to do for months. So I’m quite pleased with my progress.
