One day

I'm grateful for an extremely early night last night and for maintaining a semi sleeping state throughout the neighborhood celebrations. I'm grateful for no last minute invitations today...but that Mr Tesco and Mr Waitrose are kindly cooking my tea!

I'm grateful for watching a magpie stubbornly clinging to the topmost twig of a slender young tree as the brisk wind blew it about, and thinking that it brought me joy...

I'm grateful for a smidge of tidying and sorting out, and a great deal of dossing around. I'm grateful for finding this photo of ironwork not far from here taken a couple of weeks ago and quite forgotten about in all that Christmas kerfuffle. I find the patterns immensely pleasing...

I'm grateful for one man and his dog being away from the flat upstairs for a while...one man on his own is much quieter. I'm grateful for watching Gordon Buchanan's two parter about wolves in the arctic...lovely photography and a good background sound track from the weather outside!

I'm grateful remembering that despite the deliciously laid back Sunday feeling there are three more days until real life truly returns...
