Week 34. And September. It’s as though summer never happened. What did happen to it? What was I doing? Did I fall asleep?
It’s been a crazy few weeks and honestly right now I’m suffering from complete overwhelm and exhaustion. This coming weekend is my last weekend off until Christmas, forgive me if I sleep for most of it! Rather than fixate on that big picture, let’s look at some of the happy little things.
* One red tomato. For some reason (maybe the hot June and July and wet August) everyone’s tomatoes are huge but green. I feel a small sense of achievement that one of our has gone red. I don’t hold out a lot of hope for the other tomatoes and see vats of green tomato chutney and salsa verdi in my future.
* This card, bought for me by Himself to celebrate you know what. Seriously this sums me up perfectly. The little person even kind of looks like me.
* Hot air balloons. On these late summer evenings there have been a lot of balloons above the fields at the back of our house. They look so majestic just hanging there defying gravity. Himself wants to go on a trip in one. I’m not so sure. To me they seem to be one of those things that only looks good from a distance. Quite a big distance. Anyone who has read the first few pages of Ian McEwan’s “Enduring Love” will know what I mean.
* Green tea. I really used to hate this stuff but either my taste buds have changed or green tea making has come on in leaps and bounds as I love it now. Problem is I didn’t realise it has caffeine in it until it was too late. 
* Cake. If in doubt eat cake! 
Tell me what little things you love today!
