My sore throat

begged me to do nothing today. Well, almost. I could’ve lain in bed all day; instead, I put up my hammock in the garden and lay there for at least three hours —it could’ve well been four. The temperature was a perfect 21ºC… ahhhh, the good life! As uncomfortable as my sore throat was, the hammock was quite the opposite. I wrote my morning pages while laying there, and did nothing else: il dolce far niente (the sweet doing nothing).

Uma lay with me for a little while until a couple of firecrackers exploded nearby, and she ran inside the house. Oh well. Afterwards, I watered my plants, so they could begin the year refreshed. It was a nice, relaxing day in my garden to say goodbye to the old year and welcome the new one :)
