Reflecting on the Eden.

I slept very late today and woke still tired with gardening aches and pains.  Faffed around on the computer as usual then stripped the bed and took the bedding downstairs.  Half way down the phone rang so there was a bit of a kerfuffle to answer it.  Turned out to be Veda who never usually phones at that time but I collapsed onto the sofa and we chatted away for over an hour.  Finally fed the birds, loaded the washing machine and had breakfast at lunch time in my housecoat unshowered.
Eventually made myself presentable and abandoned any plans to do anything other than the normal Saturday laundry routine.  That was enough. I was so tired.  Read, photographed the birds for a while with the window open.  I had intended to go to Leven but I didn't have the energy so went to Strath yet again hoping I might see the dippers but no luck.  I caught a glimpse of lambs in a field on the way there and made a note. Spent some time looking at the river at the start of the walk. It's nicer than I thought it was.  Coming back to my car I met a woman with a little Westie I've met previously.  I could see the dog giving me the once over and realising that it had met me before.  They are so enthusiastic and full of zest it's impossible not to smile.
