Sometimes, life can feel as though it's all downhill... This morning, I awoke from a very peculiar dream with a sense of doom, partly brought about by the fact that I felt distinctly unwell.. Something I'd eaten, I thought, and grumbled my way through feeding the dogs, watering the plants and feeding the birds. And then a friend arrived and announced similar symptoms. A bug! It made me feel much better; whenever I have a gastric upset now, as I've mentioned, I tend to think it must be the result of radi0therapy, so it's always very comforting to know that it isn't just me who's not feeling well.
So, feeling much more cheerful, I went out with the dogs and then to buy a new rosebush to replace the distinctly sick plant outside the conservatory window. Life was looking up. Then I had a loooong chat with an old friend via Skype; we hadn't spoken with each other for months, so it was really nice to have time to communicate via voice.
And now, despite horrid hayfever - this is the first year I have ever manged not to take medication to control it, which is a very good development - I'm admiring my garden as the day moves towards its close. I love the long summer evenings - it will be light until around 22.40, even though the sun sets an hour before that.
So, all in all, a good day after a shaky start.
