Just..... WOW!

I think yesterday may have been one of the best days of my life.
Philippa and her buddies took advantage of the pleasant weather to organise a ‘Sports On The Beach’ day. We had volleyball, bowls, cricket, football and badminton. We also had wine, beer, cider, crisps and barbecues. What a wonderful time we had, made all the better by the realisation that it may be the last such day we have this year.
The really great thing was that I just got on with it and enjoyed it. I didn’t feel out of place, or unworthy, or worried about the way my body might look when compared to the more athletic people around me.  I just enjoyed the day for what it was and what we had.
On the way home we were treated to the most glorious sunset imaginable. 
Then we curled up on the sofa, and Philippa fell asleep with her head resting on me in that peaceful, lovely way that she hasn’t done for ages.
Gorgeous end to a gorgeous day.

Today, by contrast, was shit.
