Walked along Portstewart Strand tonight and chatted with a friend. This was great for several reasons…
1. Walking a pitch-dark beach at night on your own may be fun, but its not smart. So, I’ve not done it in a while.
2. The weather was kinda that mix between mild and brisk, where you’ve been smart enough to wear ample clothing and so feel warm, but not too sweaty from the exercise AND the wind is blowing enough to whip your hair back from your face without freezing your nose to the point of being unaware of drippage.

4. I got to tell the full story of my busy-but-incredibly-fun-etc summer, thus sharing the joy and reminding myself of it!

So, that was all good – and actually maybe even better because it sprang from an afternoon where I felt totally stressed out.
All topped off with the cherry of quality time with housemates.
