Lunch outside

Toby flew back to the New World. I spoke to Mum this afternoon, and we were sad he'd gone. 

However, sunshine drew Lorraine and I out into the garden. I moved the garden furniture back to the patio, and we even had some lunch outside. I had lots of things I should be getting on with, but preferred to be outside. I even caught the sun a bit on my neck.

Especially as Amanda was decorating and I'm easily distracted. She started painting some taupe today. I haven't often been excited by taupe, but I am now. 

Arranged to interview a Faber poet in a couple of weeks.

I paused at one point to snap this daffodil. I had to fight off the urge to drink a cold beer in the sun, I need to lose more weight before I can put it back on again.
