After a sweltering day yesterday, disturbed by the heat, we had a night of uninterrupted thunderstorms, the flash of lighting illuminating the whole house every few moments.
Today has been wet from dawn to dusk, though the gales and driving rain of the morning now seem to have subsided a little. We hope for blue skies in the morning.
It feels like a bit of a waste of holiday, moping around doing nothing much, other than serving guests. I may as well have worked today, clawing back leave on a sunny day.
Still, they say change is as good as rest. Maybe it’s good to be a lazy bum from time to time, resisting the urge to occupy every waking moment with work of some sort. Maybe it’s okay to feel at a loose end.
