It’s teeming with rain. The garden smells wonderful - earthy yet fresh. The sky overcast but light. It's a beautiful and I want to be in it; outdoors, this day, has more allure than blue skies and hot sun.
And I also want to be indoors and at the desk. Much to do today - much reading of students' research chapters, and, because I like to do at least an hour a day on my own work, reading for my research. Today's work-for-me: a novel. Not taxing but still work - I have such a privileged lifestyle.
Later, I'll walk with dogs. Last night I walked for an hour at midnight. The roads quiet; pavements empty; and every so often, a cloud of scent from may, or laurels. An urban walk with the magic of the country.
