Getting up to make the tea in the morning might not be the same if we lived in a log cabin in Alaska especially during the long dark winters. I’m not even aware that people who live in such places drink tea. They are more likely to brew coffee in a pot on the range. Random first paragraph.
It is 14.34 and I think I have finished work for the week. This isn’t entirely true because I have more to do but I am waiting on another’s input and if the goods are indeed delivered I may have to warm up the valves on my computing device and do something over the weekend.
The weekend ahead has a lot of activity planned so not totes sure where I’ll fit in some work but we shall see. I say activity. Some of it involves sitting in front of a big screen in the shed watching rugby football. It is that time of year. Again. 6 nations. Yay.
In the meantime John and I have been to the market that is Waitrose to stock up on a few essentials for the weekend. Some gruyere, fever tree light, that sort of thing. They didn’t have any of the small cans of fever tree left so had to buy the bottles. Ah well.
It’s a lovely springish day out. Early movement from expected flora – snow drops. We all know it will end in teardrops. Snow is forecast for Sunday. Spring, although it is still a way off, is without question the best time of year. The smell of spring is like no other. I have the shed doors slightly ajar.
Although during lockdown 2 this is more of a diary and indeed I’ve used this site for that purpose frequently in the past, the original intent with philosopherontap was as a focal point for creativity.

With a mind cleared of impediment things happen. Words come out as if plucked from nowhere. Picture looking ahead into the space in front of you and seeing words suddenly appear. Ping! They not only appear but when you read them you think “wow, where did they come from?”

Just finished my aerobics class. First time I’ve done it the whole way through. I do it stood in front of the telly with the carpet rolled back. You know, just in front of the sofa 🙂 It’s just the right amount of space. I’m crap at timing the steps but the more I do it the more used to that I will become. It’s a lot easier to find 20 mins out of an afternoon than to go for a long walk even though that too is necessary really.
A pot of tea has miraculously arrived in the shed. Thanks to the miracle of love 😉 Have you ever seen a tea tray just appear on the desk in front of you? What great power love brings. There is a song in there somewhere. Loud music already fills the shed. Music from my youth prevails. My kids also listen to it. Some of it.
Looking out from the shed the back garden is bathed in sunlight. A shudder of relaxation just ran through my shoulders. My eyes gently close…
