I have discovered the great pleasure that comes from curling up in a patch of sunshine on a comfortable bed, surrounded by a pile of blankets and pillows with a good book and a journal full of empty pages simply waiting to be written on. After Church yesterday it was time for a nap for everyone and my bed just so happens to fall in a patch of sunshine in the early afternoon so I curled up in it and read most of a historical fiction novel entitled 'To Have and To Hold' (which I would highly recommend as a novel well worth reading). 2 hours passed most pleasurably although my back had a few kinks in it from being curled up for so long!
There are many little footprints and other strange markings in the snow this morning from the squirrels who have been scampering about looking for food and chasing each other up and down the tree outside the kitchen window. It will definitely be a shock to the system to return to summertime weather on the other side of the world after becoming quite acclimatised to the snow and freezing weather. It can sometimes be deceiving to look out the window at the sun shining brightly but then realize that it is below freezing outside!
