wow. amazing what a bit of sun can do for your mood...
the weather here in belfast has been of the most surprisingly glorious variety. every patch of grass in the city has been covered in sunbathers and lazers, students 'revising' for the impending exams... every table outside every eatery packed and lunch breaks taking just a little longer than usual.
the week has picked up well since monday and as i write i am sitting outside common grounds (it's 9pm!) in my flip flops and still no cardigan and i'm piggy backing on a nice strong password-free wireless connection after a wonderful hour dandering at good pace around botanic gardens and along the river...
said weather has led to an improvement in spirits as the week trundles along and as a result, (rather ironically given what a shame it is to be inside when the sun is so warm and the sky so blue), my work rate has taken a dramatic surge for the better... i've been Ms Efficiency the past couple of days and am feeling a lot better for that too...i finally feel like i'm back in control of the work load, and despite a long list of items in the back log, it's all in some kind of order...
so, i've nothing particularly interesting, exotic or profound in any way to report other than to say i am grateful for the sunshininess of this place and the glimmers of excitement it is causing as i prepare to move into urban life... i'm itching to get onto a bike and see what the summer will bring. i have been concerned i'd miss the tranquility i have known in my surroundings at the cottage these past few years, but there is so much nature bursting up between the concrete and stone... so much greenness, so much life bursting forth and making this town more beautiful...
it's alright...
LB,x
