Day 27

Writing 2026

Lydia and I went to one of our quiet walking places today. There was a bit of blue sky and the sun came out.

Having slept quite well last night and with the cough resulting from my cold improving, I do feel quite a bit better, so much so that I dug up a bush in the back garden. Well, it is three bushes actually, grown together. There is another clump that I’m hoping to dig up tomorrow. The foliage has been eaten by some sort of insect, I think. There are another two bushes/clumps that have similar damage but not as much, so I’m leaving them and the position that they are in works well with the overall garden design. A bit more sweeping and tidying is needed but generally there’s not too much to do, especially at this time of year.

I’ve also done some meditating today, as well as just enjoying being with Lydia. She’s had her tea so is quite settled for a bit more rest and relaxation. Me too (although I haven’t had my tea yet!).
