Days like these

Today the weather was glorious, mild and sunny as if the deluge of yesterday and the deluge of tomorrow were just taking a break for a day so we could all walk in sunshine.  Which I did over lunchtime.  I enjoyed seeing the tiny catkins limbering up on this hazel tree. 

First thing I went to Pilates in Midhurst but got the date wrong (this always happens this time of year) and it was tomorrow.  Strangely discombobulated I bought some remaining presents at Cowdray and came home.  Finished off some emails and decided to put the out of office on.  Whatever that really means in our hyper connected world. 

Went over to Mum’s to sort out her shopping and to receive a shameful order from the supermarket, that I’d done, which had double of everything and no real substance.  And arrived on the wrong day because of Christmas.  They were very good humoured and took most of it back and I stocked up her fridge from the Petersfield shops. 

Tomorrow is definitely Wednesday 21 December.
