It's 6pm, and about 23 C.
Monty is chewing on a bone, Bok is off chasing lizards, and Cro is sitting in the shade of the Quince tree (with my shorts on) enjoying an early glass of rouge.
It's warm, and the Quince flowers are dropping like confetti; everything is very quiet.
I'll soon get used to Lady Magnon's absence, but for the moment the silence is DEAFENING.
It looks like a lovely day to me! Enjoy the peace and quiet!
ReplyDeleteThe wisteria looks good (as does the wine). She must be due "down-under by now.
ReplyDeleteI think she arrives in Rocky on Saturday.
DeleteIt is Friday evening here so she won't be far away!!
DeleteGood thing you've got your blogger mates to entertain you, especially some their late late night barmy conversations.
ReplyDeleteI don't read those ones!
DeleteI've been on my own at Lovelygrey Cottage for the latter half of this week. My peace will be shattered tomorrow evening by the return of Louis my eleven year old from a holiday with his dad. I now love it that my life has that contrast between quiet and the out and out noisiness that living with a young boy provides.
ReplyDeleteI do actually enjoy being by myself (for a while). My wife knows this, which is why she's quite happy leaving me to run riot for 6 weeks.
DeleteCan't imagine leaving Louis to run riot for six weeks. Really don't know what I'd come home to!
ReplyDeleteI really don't mind being alone during the day but I like a bit of company in the evenings - husband is away visiting his brother at the moment and it feels like a morgue round here. At least you have your lovely pooches to keep you company.
ReplyDeleteDon't go mad, like that bloke in The Shining...
ReplyDeleteApart from the red wine... It sounds like bliss
ReplyDeleteSounds perfect x
ReplyDeleteIt was a beautiful day yesterday but I don't think I'm quite ready for shorts. (Although I have swapped my slippers for flip flops.)
ReplyDeleteThey've been put away again today; yesterday was GLORIOUS.
DeleteI do love my quiet and alone time, but six weeks would be too long for me. You do, though, have a beautiful place to spend your days.
ReplyDeleteAnd my days are filled.
DeleteI'm so jealous.
ReplyDelete" Absence makes the heart grow fonder " Take care now. Marion x
