    Morning! Hurray, the writing-and-organising-drafts thing happened last night as well - I do need to start doing it at the desk, if I'm going to do it, because it hurts my shoulder to use the computer when I'm lolling about in the armchair :o

    This morning - I managed to shut down a phone interruption, I have one email to do plus dishwasher, then its bloggiting. I may do 10 mins out in the garden while its in the shade...

    Absolutely, the flow is good - I've been a bit restless this afternoon with the heat (chopped some grass, picked some gooseberries and a few tiny blackcurrants) but thats all. I'm definitely feeling the vibe of "ooh, I could live like this" :)

    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort
