Good to be back outside!

I’m not an indoor person. The last few days have been busy with theatrical stuff on top of normal days. On Friday at least I did get out as I had to cycle across town and back, but that was just on roads all the way. Then Saturday morning I was rushing to prepare some food, then went straight to the hall for the performance and by the time the matinee was over it was after 4:30 pm and already starting to go dark. I was starting to lose track of the time already! Then we had the evening performance, which finished about 10:30 pm, then there was the after-show party. It was very late when I got to bed. Sunday morning I woke at the usual sort of time, just after 7 am. I didn’t need to get up so early but I couldn’t go back to sleep so I did a bit of work then it was back to the hall to dismantle everything and pack it all away. Then I went to the shop for a few things and was back home by 1 pm. I was tired; it would have been so easy to just collapse on the sofa and do nothing. But it was a fine, dry day so I thought I’d just pop outside to do one or two things. Then of course I noticed more jobs to do… I ended up spending a few hours out in the garden. And it was so lovely to be out in the fresh air again, with the birds singing and growing things all around. I felt so much better than if I had just stayed inside!
