The trouble with being awake so much in the night is that it makes me feel tired throughout the day .In fact, the other day I was so tired I brought out the hammock and hopped into it with a cushion and a blanket even though it was the hottest day of the year so far. With the sun beating onto my face and warming me up I was blissfully relaxed till I felt a bump against my bottom followed by two paws and a little black and white face looking over the side of the hammock at me. Socks, Jack's cat was around and didn't want to miss out on the snoozing action. She wandered around the base of the hammock before leaping gracefully up into it with me. She hadn't worked out her coordinates though and jumped straight up onto my face! A wake up call!
She soon settled down on my blanket and the two of us dozed in the warmth of the sun for a while.
Right now she is purring by the side of me as I type this, having found her in the other bedroom when I tried to sleep in there I decided to make the best of being awake and came down for a cup of tea she followed me and is curled up on the blanket again. Nice life if you can get it, hey?
The RHS is in town this weekend, their first show of the year and always a crowd pleaser but we've decided not to go. One day I'll make it to Chelsea to witness that spectacle but the Cardiff one is always a little early to have the range of show gardens I want to see. Plus Luke would rather stay home. So that's decided. It's a great weekend for it though, I'm sure the organisers are sighing with relief – it makes such a difference to outdoor events as the Ryder Cup held in Newport last year proved when it had to go into a fourth day due to torrential rain.
Well, if I don't get any extra sleep tonight I think my day in the garden will be spent back in the hammock trying to catch up!
