Sneaky sunshine and snoozes

I'm fighting off having a cold with lemons and afternoon snoozes, sunshine, laughter, garlic and spices. Have had a lovely couple of days, mostly connecting to friends. Jenny came over Wednesday evening, we drank white wine, ate amazing food cooked by Beattie and even played my all time favourite game 'in the manner of the word!' Yesterday I took some time out for reading and tea in bed. Reading a book on 'Dark Mountain' interesting concepts of life and death and uncivilisation. Then lay in a sunny spot in the allotment for a couple of hours.

I also had my first driving lesson yesterday. My word I felt a bit like an Octopus! Its amazing that all that multi tasking becomes automatic, like riding a bike, not that I can ride one very successfully. Think I shall tackle that one with the help of new and very lovely house mate Emma. Would be good to get myself more road aware if nothing else. Going to help out with Alley cats bike treasure hunt tomorrow for a bit of inspiration.

Also met the incredibly beautiful two week old Wren son of Jo and Freddy. Ah. He is perfect and makes the sweetest snuffly noises. My womb was doing some good yearning flips! Fell asleep in a pretty dreamy future state. The present is great though. An exciting time teeming with possibilities but without expectations.

So tonight brings together some more wonderful women for a shared dinner and a couple of glasses of fine wine. I'm going to give the Pub a miss and get myself an early night to save myself from getting this cold. 2 weeks of burning the candle at both ends. My body clock is still set at 7am over 3 weeks after breaking up from school! So I best obey it. I do love mornings and late at night for open alert head space.

Beach and lunch with more friends tomorrow and the return of beautiful Clara May!
