The sun is shining and the wind is warm. What more could we want?
With the new day my mind has stopped fretting over minor things and I can move on. Though I may have to add another WhatsApp group on my phone.
And of course today I've had to concentrate on my Welsh. At least most of the the three hour lesson was not about prepositions. We began with chat and vocabulary around 'exotic animals' before moving on to a somewhat minimalistic cartoon covering small sections of the Mabinogi, a set of fantastical Welsh legends which as usual end in tragedy. It was made even more difficult to understand by having characters with strange names that are not in use these days. Our tutor's explanation of the stories was a lot more interesting.
The latest arrivals to the garden party.
The garden is already bursting with colour, almost too much colour but maybe that's due to the bright tomato red of the azalea. It was here when we moved in and considering how well it is doing even though I moved it from one side of the garden to the other I don't have the heart to get rid of it. The bright pink azalea it was next to (they clashed horribly) seems to have faded away even though it wasn't moved.
After class I did some more sorting out of clothes before grabbing half an hour in the sun. Disco aerobics was, as usual great fun.

The warm wind and bright sunshine create a perfect atmosphere for clearing the mind of those minor worries. It is quite a contrast to move from the tragic tales of the Mabinogi to the lively energy of disco aerobics, though having the vocabulary for exotic animals is certainly a unique skill to gain from a Welsh lesson.
That tomato red azalea is remarkably resilient to have thrived after being moved across the garden. Even if the colors clashed before, its persistence is impressive. Taking that time to enjoy the sun after a busy day of sorting and studying is a well deserved treat. You are welcome to take a look at the latest thoughts I have shared on the blog.
