Another day; another month

I'm in the mood for a Monthly Challenge again. I think having something to concentrate on and aim for might make it less likely that I'll leave a big gap between postings again, like what I did in May. Mind you, I ended up with 15 posts by the 31st, which ain't so bad.

It's been a lovely day, after a week of wet wetness. My plan to instigate a regular weekly barbecue got overtaken by a desire to spend some time at the beach with the little ones, so it was a fun picnic on the sand today instead of a wild cook-out in the garden. Equally as satisfying, though. Mathew had great fun in the waves, Rian slept a surprising amount in the shelter of the little beach tent, and we made friends with a family who not only had two sons almost exactly the same age as ours, but also had two gorgeous terriers who were so gentle and friendly that I almost thought they were stoned. Beach life is a good life, I feel.

Back to the grind of the worklife tomorrow, but should be a bit quieter now that half-term is done and dusted. We can sort a few repairs, resurrect our Monday meetings and mop up the water from last week, just in time for the deluge that is forecast for the next three days.
My insomnia is under control, my depression seems to have shifted and family time is filling me with fullness. It's all good right now.
