an unexpectedly pleasant afternoon
Jul. 22nd, 2021 10:57 pmAs you are likely unavoidably aware, whether you're in the UK or merely know people-other-than-me who live here, we are in the middle of a heatwave. Also, A has some time off work.
We wound up spending much of this afternoon lying on a picnic blanket, in the shade, by the pond, with a slight breeze, in my parents' garden, with absolutely nothing we Needed To Be Doing other than waiting for my mother to finish up at work and come socialise with us (outside, double-vaccinated, etc). I had been mildly concerned that it would be too unpleasantly warm, or that we'd get Bored, or or or -- but actually it was just lovely, and so has the day been as a whole, and I think we should probably try to work more "lying on a blanket with nothing to do" into our lives.
