Reasons to be cheerful

1. When there's a mid-morning knock at your door in between online tutoring sessions to find your neighbour has brought you breakfast.
2. When the weather in November is so sunny and warm that sitting on the beach is still a 'thing' (in fact a couple of folk were in the sea!).
3. When you walk to the beach with your neighbours (1 biped and 1 quadruped - ok, Kat and Esra) and of course, Gece, (our community garden dog) and are then joined by two or three more local street woofers who all play tag on the beach.
4. When you both decide to sit in a cafe's beach side garden and have a beer at 4pm, because, well, why not?
5. When you live less than ten minutes walk from the views you see here.

That'll do.
