#QuietSaturday

“Any fool can know. The point is to understand.”

Good Morning to Saturday...14th, 5.54, 15.6dg, 0.3 ml overnight rain forecasting another beautiful sunshine day with late afternoon showers. This weather pattern is lovely, you forget how wonderful summer can be when you enjoy winter so much. Yesterday was a day of people in, people out, and me wishing there was no one, just me in a prone position somewhere, anywhere. This cold has knocked my socks off... those who know me will understand the effect it has had when I say my morning coffees give me no pleasure and my aperitivos taste awful. I have tried one weak gin with a friend, the first since last Sunday... I imagine my liver must be doing handsprings but I feel so miz it couldn't give a toss if it left me for good. Saying that I do have progress. I found out yesterday afternoon that the party I have been asked to, and expected to attend, this evening is a party with 100 people in attendance.. an early Sonnwendfeier, which is the celebration of Solstice. This is normally a big celebration held around the mountains with fire spectaculars on the longest night which is the 21st, but these friends are having a massive celebration to mark a lot of family milestones ... I do not think so. Feeling grotty, not drinking alcohol at the mo to help oil the wheels of language, and surrounded by 80+ strangers, not this kid. No way!!! My plans for the day are a little sun lounger time and then if the energy is in any form of abundance a little hedge trimming to finish the small hedge behind the garage. Looking at the calendar it is the 14th June, I start to move on the 20th July... me thinks there will be a lot I do not finish before I leave this time. And so it is.
