I seem to be in a rather happy state of mind these days, for no particular reason. Everything is so green and generous and full of life, and it rubs off on me! I spend at least eight hours on my bike each week, usually hedged in by hawthorn and Queen Anne's Lace, and even in the rain (perhaps, especially in the rain!) it's absolutely lovely. Refreshing. These thoughts were passing through my mind at a leisurely pace on the way to work this morning, and I thought I'd better write it down, take stock, place a wee marker here. Work is good. Friends are plentiful, if scattered and sporadic. The birds sing outside my window. The play seems to have been a success, including the costumes which caused me a certain amount of anxiety... Plenty of things to improve on, of course, but that is how it should be, or at least, how it always will be.
