Something phenomenally gratifying about a bit of sunshine in cold weather. Of course it helps thawing out those mummified muscles that've been wrapped in layers of winter clothing, but also the slight warmth overlaid with chill winds feels a weird contradiction that tends to confuse the body and delight the mind.
Against my better judgement I pull back all curtains and open some windows just to let the house air out a bit and have that thin stream of golden rays scatter on beds and floors.
It doesn't help in warming the house of course, if anything it gets colder, but the slight glow that attaches itself to different furnitures and reflection cast against mirrors and window panes lends its own magical touch which is a rarity during these days of biting dark.
Onwards and upwards then.
The weather is fine, the birds are chirping and I feel a bit of wilderness creeping into me.. the kinds that creep into city dwellers who've had the slight opportunity to live in a quiet place abundant in flora and fauna.
These are the kinds of days that beckon me to fill a flask with tea and saunter to the nearest park or in my case riverside and lie back on the benches and soak in the sunshine, which is what I think I'm planning on doing.
Perhaps I'll complete my work by the riverside, watching fellow idles fish or play with their dogs. Might be I'll take along the cat with me.
