Joyous

What a simply fabulous day! The sun is shining. The sky is blue. It's heating up a treat, but there is a cooling refreshing breeze. The birds are singing with the joy of it all & I'm inclined to join them. I glory at the sound of the mellifluous notes of the blackbirds, the cheeps of the sparrows & finches.

Yesterday we even managed to eat out in comfort - first time for a couple of years. I suspect we'll be out there again this evening. This is more like summer & long may it continue.

The only cloud on the horizon is how this will affect MK. I've just been speaking to him on the phone - a shorter conversation than last week as he had to soon resort to his oxygen mask. It's impossible to follow his conversation on the phone with a mask on. The oxygen machine is quite noisy even when I speak. The heat unfortunately seems to make his breathing harder, though it's partially that he's got another chest infection yet again. But, at least at home, he is able to appreciate the brilliance of the day, the glowing colours as he looks down to the canal, the sounds of the birds as they visit their garden. Long may he continue doing so.
