All day I have been sat outside with my Mac, a jacket, the cat, and a continuous flow of plum and pomegranate tea. Yes, it has been a little chilly, but the sun was out for most of it.
Why, you may ask, why was I doing this stupid thing? The answer is short and quite dumb.
I have a lot of work to do and I thought I would get distracted less if I sat outside. Yes. Dumbass.
The birds were singing loud enough to be heard over my headphones and there were buzzing and flappy things all over the plants that surrounded me. About 9 million neighbourhood cats came to point out my mistakes and I was almost hit in the head by a football from the ‘delightful’ children. I think everyone in the local vicinity decided that today was the day they were doing to cut, strim, hoover or blow their grass away, and the idiots on the road decided that revving their cars was the thing to do today.
Yeah, outside was the place to be today,
And I got nothing done, so now I feel guilty about the hour and a half I took off to watch Doctor Who and Confidential. But, boy, was that good!

My Dear Beckaroo:
NO GUILT REQUIRED HERE. YOU ARE NOT YOUR ACCOMPLISHMENTS!
And from what I have read on this site, who you really are deep within is worthy of nothing short of unadulterated love. Or as you Brits would put it: “Bloody unadulterated love!”

I tried to do the “outside” thing but my wifi has gone tits up so I couldn’t. Reading this I’m sort of, kind of, glad I kept the laptop inside - heh!
Don’t feel guilty!! We get so little sunshine we have to grab it while we can ;o)

Glenn - Bloody right you are… or hopelessly wrong - only time will tell! It’s another part of being British - feeling guilty for absolutely ‘bloody’ everything.
Penelope - Today, thank God, it rained so I didn’t even remotely feel like torturing myself by working outside! I did however fancy going for a long walk but if I tell you about it now you won’t have to read my post… NOt that you have to but you know what I mean…

“It’s another part of being British - feeling guilty for absolutely ‘bloody’ everything.”
Ah! For some reason, I thought that problem came from Jewish origin. Nothing like the expansion of misery!

All I can say is that you sound very posh with your plum and pomegranate tea. I completely approve!

Glenn - We do it with an arrogance unsurpassed though!
Selma - Sounds posh doesn’t it? But oh so very cheap at the moment!
