How I love sunny mornings which wake you up before Radio 4 and the manic beeping of the alarm. The ones that bathe you in a golden glow as you indulgently read your book before having to rise. I've never really paid much attention to mornings like these before - my previous routine saw my alarm going off at 6, me ignoring it and then being pushed out of bed by Mr M, before rushing around the flat and sprinting to get my train.Being out of work, as lonely and disruptive as it has been at times, has opened my eyes to the simple things in life - sleep, trips to the market, tea breaks with a mug (eight years of paper cups, three times a day), flat shoes, the joy of homemade sandwiches and planning meals. It feels as though I've been in hibernation for eight years and I'm finally waking up.
What a nice start to the day. I have got really bad since moving in with Mr P as where I was previously very much a morning person, I now leave it until the last possible minute to leap out of bed, even though I know I'd have a much better start to the day if I got up only 30 minutes earlier. Heigh-ho, I keep meaning to get into a proper routine but never quite manage it.
ReplyDeleteI am loving the sunny mornings though and have swapped my usual funny-cum-gloomy Today programme for Classic FM and finding it a more cheerful start to the day.
Fingers crossed for more sun tomorrow (and maybe I'll try and get up that little bit earlier)! x

Such a lovely post, sometimes when life slows you down you just have to stop and smell the roses.

Everyone seems so lively just lately, I'm just browsing a few favourite blogs whilst enjoying a coffee. So many people have posted already this morning which I put down to the fantastic sunshine, another brilliant day for us girls at home.
ReplyDeletethere is nothing better than waking up to a sunny morning -

Enjoy these lovely spring mornings, the best time of the day is the early part I think.
ReplyDeleteI had exactly the same thought the other day ... feeling as if I was waking up after the long hibernation of being at work. It's a fantastic feeling! I'm loving your blog.
ReplyDeleteHow lovely! Thanks for sharing this. Getting up early is something that has come to me late in life but I love the time when the house is quiet and the shadows are long.
