Summer's back!!

Another glorious day with temperatures well in the 20s. Amazing how much happier I feel when the sky is blue and there’s some heat in the air. Amazing how much happier EVERYONE feels. We humans really don’t seem designed for existing in gloomy weather. Makes you wonder why evolution ever bothered to bring us to Britain in the first place, but I can’t answer that coz I’m not a biologist, and unfortunately Charles Darwin is dead. 
My sexy bike put in an appearance on the roads tonight. I set off straight after work and had a joyously enjoyable scoot around the countryside. I arrived home resplendent in my fitness and renewed sense of energy, only to find Philippa in the kitchen saying “I thought you were going to cook for when I came in?” And so began another night of awkward tension in our little home. I fell into my old habit of retreating to my drum kit to avoid the atmosphere. I know it’s not the proper thing to do, or a viable long-term plan for a relationship, but sometimes I just want to block it all out and ignore the apology I need to make and drumming is a very good way for that to happen.  Once I finish blogging I might pop to the bedroom and try to instigate a conversation, as it sounds like my beloved is still awake. Or I could be a cowardly man and watch TV until she’s asleep and just hope it’s all better in the morning……..
