I hadn't been drinking that much: a couple of rosé spritzers, a largish glass of something white, and another small rosé when I got home. As much as anything eating a bit more and more richly than usual in the evening, sitting in the sun, and also what I tend to think of as an 'introvert's hangover', just feeling tired and low and a bit lousy from exposure to other people's company, which I know sounds very precious and pathetic and unappreciative of friendship, which last thing at least heaven knows I'm not. Usually it's easily fixed anyway.<br /><br />Crow - lovely to see you. Like I say, you can't really go wrong with those things!<br /><br />Smoky Swallow - That sounds heavenly, I don't think I'd have wanted to unwrap it. I enjoyed reading this book, but perhaps not quite as much as I enjoyed looking forward to reading it...Lucyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09764296105901909328noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37070024.post-6668097149831346682010-07-09T09:32:27.719+02:002010-07-09T09:32:27.719+02:00A book in the mail!

Then the waiting, the anticipation, the opening of the mailbox wondering each time, "will it be inside today?" Then one day, there it was! And the most wonderful thing was that the seller had wrapped it in brown paper, tied it with waxed string and addressed the parcel by hand in ink (with a fountain pen no doubt).Rouchswalwehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01393987883437907945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37070024.post-24111016600367991342010-07-09T03:08:51.836+02:002010-07-09T03:08:51.836+02:00You take some of the best photos I've ever see...You take some of the best photos I've ever seen, Lucy, and this is another one.The Crowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04846997590157958766noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37070024.post-62400829080434637992010-07-08T23:54:48.205+02:002010-07-08T23:54:48.205+02:00Amazing picture, Lucy.

I'm going to continue watering my garden until they pass a hosepipe ban. (BTW, I actually drove through an isolated shower on my way to Hampshire this morning. I wished for a water butt on the roof of my car.)<br /><br />I can't help but wonder what you were drinking that gave you a hangover . . .Beehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02375981493145612394noreply@blogger.com
