Waking

One of the things I like about not having a job any more is that most mornings, I can choose when to get out of bed. I do have to set my alarm for 5.58am if I want to get a place in the aquaerobics class, but I can book it while half asleep and then return to zzzz. I am usually naturally awake at 7, which is when I took this photo. A robin was singing in the tree outside our window and the sun was shining :-) I read my book for half an hour or so and then got up to heat up the oven to bake bread. And once D was up, we were able to enjoy our coffee outside, which is not something to be taken for granted at this time of year (or at any time, really)
