View from my adopted bench...


Blue sky with not a cloud in sight!

I returned from Morocco on Monday and I stole some of the gorgeous weather and brought it back with me.  It's amazing what you can get through customs these days!! :)  The lovely weather is certainly helping to appease my post-holiday blues.  You see I fell in love.  It took less than the 3 weeks that I was in Morocco to fall in love with the country and the people (well ok, not everyone - there simply wasn't enough time to meet everyone whilst I was out there, but the people I did meet certainly represented their country very well.  Well except perhaps the woman in the taxi who thought it was ok that Soufiane said he was going to marry me for a visa, oooh or the man who spat on the ground because he disapproved of me restyling Outman's hair!!).  I think it's always difficult to return back to 'normal' life when you've had some time out.  I'm rejuvenated by shiny, new things (when I say 'shiny, new' I mean things/places etc that are different to my 'norm') so when I get home I have to re-adjust...takes a wee while.

 So yesterday I had arranged to meet up with a couple of mates in the park after work.  We all wanted to get outside since we had all been stuck indoors for the majority of the day.  I arrived half an hour early so that I could find a quiet spot in the park and chill out.  I did a marvelous job of achieving what I set out to do and here are the photographs as evidence.

It was brilliant being re-united with my friends even though I may have upset them when I didn't answer quickly enough, when asked if I had missed them when I was away!!  (I kinda did, but I wasn't really away long enough to really, really miss them!!)
