Lying in the sun

andrewduckerErin called me at 4:15 yesterday and asked me to come out to the Gardens and join her. I finished moving desk (my whole team just shifted 30 feet up the corridoor) and then wandered out.
I lay and read for a while, then kept myself amused by peoplewatching. A rather cute woman wearing all black sat a few feet away from us and read her Harry Potter novel. She was wearing all black too. I had idle thoughts that she might be one of the Edinburgh people from LJ that I've never met, but it seems sadly unlikely.
Hugh called me at midday today and invited me down to the botanical gardens. So, following a brief stop at Sainsburies for food (darn this Atkins diet for making it hard to pick up food just anywhere) I met him at the bottom of Dundad street and we lazed by the swans. The grass under the trees was slightly damp so we sat in the sun, and walking back up the hill afterwards it was so hot that I ended up quite wet anyway.
I love summer, I really do.

Date: 2003-07-04 06:49 am (UTC)Mind you my back yard is quite nice (even if it doesn't get any sun late in the day). I can sit and see the ivy and the giant fuscia bush and the great big privet tree and the windowsill plants (and the weeds!) and feel very mellow. If we can train one of the privet branches we can block out the one building (across the road) that you can see.
It isn't sunny here today - well on-off cloudy-sunny and cloundy-grey.
