Words to Live By

"If life seems rushed, and you feel nostalgic for the days when you'd sit around in your back yard and read a book, well, sit around in your back yard and read a book. Don't get fussed up over it."

Garrison Keillor in today's Guardian

Yes! That's why I bought my hammock. I now sit in the garden for a bit, and enjoy it, and then I get more enthusiastic about sorting bits of it out!

I have a big swing which I load up with pillows and throws. If only I didn't take a jug of Pyms out with me, I'm sure I'd put the world to rights.

THat is precisely what I did most of today. I sat in the backyard and read a book. At least when I wasn't watching the kids play in the pool. And some good music in the background...Heavenly.

That sounds lovely. Welcome back, by the way. (Although I am sure I've already commented on your journal anyway, I meant to say hi. And at least I didn't ask a question about eighty guitars...)

I indulged in a long lie this morning, and didn't appear downstairs until noon. I've been in the doghouse all day, but it was worth it.
