I have, today, surprised myself

Today has been delightful. All around me, people were panicking about a new Covid variant, but I remained steadfastly optimistic. The British climate attempted to assault my enthusiasm with yet another day of grey skies and consistent drizzle, but I defiantly smiled and got on with my day and enjoyed it. We had a nice walk (with Mathew sitting very comfortably in his buggy beneath a plastic rain shield) and got a nice takeaway sausage baguette – resplendently adorned with brown sauce – and a hot cuppa. It’s ridiculous that we had to wear Winter coats in mid-May, but I surprisingly refused to allow that to affect our day.
Now we are about to enjoy a bottle of wine and a movie. And I have let Philippa choose the film and have not raised one iota of annoyance at her decision.
Weird.
