I was looking forward to a planned trip to the countryside this afternoon to get some much-needed new scenery after being locked down working from home all week. I decided it was a well-deserved reward after a pretty focused working week of contacting clients on the phone, showing them some love and letting them know the company is still there for them during this COVID-19 situation.
The fresh air and wide open spaces beckoned, and I looked forward to a hike, to seeing some Australian wildlife, kangaroos and koala's, (no snakes thanks)...And to revel in the silence. I should have checked the weather forecast before getting too excited about it though.
It's been raining for a couple hours now...Not patchy rain or drizzle, but hearty rain, the type that get's you very wet, very quickly. I don't melt in the rain of course, but I decided to forego the trip to the hills and just stay home.
To say I was really looking forward to a few hours in the hills, watching the sun set and some fresh air would be an understatement...But I've been around long enough to know life doesn't always go to plan. To be completely honest we need the rain very badly as it's been incredibly dry here...It freshens things up and the next time I head to the hills they'll look like this; Can I wait a week or so? Yep, sure can.
So, it's a rainy Friday night and my planned trip wasn't to be but that won't stop Faith and I from having a nice night. We're making home made pasta with a side of garlic bread and watching a David Attenborough documentary and then we'll get stuck into some reading with a coffee and some jaffa cakes. Sound legit? Yep, I agree.
What are you guys all doing with your Friday night? No bars, clubs and restaurants I'd imagine, for those in lockdown anyway...Tell me, what's up y'all?
Design and create your ideal life, don't live it by default - Tomorrow isn't promised.
Be well
