Journal. A Beautiful Mid Winter's Day

The sun is shining, the sky is wall to wall bright blue and the leaves on the trees scarcely move. A slight chill is in the air and the temperature is 17C. After our past week of sun, rain, hail and wind it is pleasurable to be alive. The anticyclone sitting in the Tasman Sea has moved on to NZ at last.

We often get get these sort of calm days in July during our winter but with a somewhat lower temperature. Some say a good time of year to go on holiday in the settled weather.

I think I will get the garden blower/vac. out this afternoon and blow away the leaves off the lawns down into the bottom section.

Or, shall I just sit out in the sun and browse and think about the leaves? There is always tomorrow when you are retired.
