Let the Sun Shine!

By Contemplatingtheclouds @contempclouds

The sun is shining, it’s quite hot, there’s not a cloud in the sky and not a breath of wind. Normally I then wake up to realize that I’m in a cold, damp, windy, miserable Edinburgh – but not this weekend. This time round it was for real.

Sunny enough to spend virtually the entire weekend outside in the garden, eating, drinking, reading, gardening or doing absolutely nothing at all. Unusually for May we had the opportunity to get our rusty old BBQ out (and put a disposable one on top…) for Saturday’s dinner (along with a battleship-sinking quantity of Pimm’s).

I also appear to have become the ‘go-to-guy’ for edging flowerbeds, which is not something I’d at all intended on, but recovered from my new-found skill in time to chill out for a lovely Sunday dinner out in the sun with a couple of glasses of wine.

Do we really have to go back to work on Monday?

I hope where ever you were it was as glorious as it was here in Edinburgh.
