2 atoms and agatha christie = 'the glory days'

What a beautiful four days it has been, long live the sunshine kid!! As i sit at my desk throughout the day, listening to the hustle and bustle of the energetic Soho streets below, my only getaway is the church park at the end of the road. One lunch hour under the glorious sun beam of life, surrounded by a vibrant sea of green is enough. I tell myself it is enough, that this life of grey, black, brown dull dull, dull colours is good for me, good for the soul and of course, good for the CV.

It wasn't always like this, not long ago i couldn't get out of the parks and out of the sunshine, always a game of footy or frisbee to be played. A day at the beach or just walking the dog in the park. There were also days when i would be running for shade and often enjoyed the comfort of my own sofa on a beautiful day! Days when i would rather complete resident evil 4 or play a whole season on pro evolution soccer just to get to negotiations at the end! Not anymore. Never again will i take for granted a nice sunny day, the ability to just lounge around in the park and basically do bugger all but sit in the sun.

I know of a classic saying 'the grass is always greener on the other side', well in this case i do believe its true! the other side either being a) summer b) not living in London or c) Not working in post-production!

Still its not all bad, i still firmly believe that experiencing luxuries in small doses is better for the soul than having too much of it and taking it for granted. The great Rohl Dahl lived by these rules, he is a constant reminder to us all that you are going to fall in a river of chocolate and get sucked up a tube if you are too greedy, or that if you have too much of something, and that it is no-longer exciting or enjoyable, you begin to expect it.

To think of having a whole day in the sun at the moment seems like a massive luxury, and i will throughly enjoy it when that day comes and especially when the days are longer. Actually i can't bloody wait to for it to still be light outside when i exit the working environment full of beans because i know as soon as i get home, i will be charging around a field after that 'bag of air' as my dad would say, without a care in the world!

I don't think it will be too long for 'the glory days' to re-appear, those day when you dare venture to work in a t-shirt and not have to worry about it pissing it down on the return leg. Until these days come however, i think i'll play some more on Resident Evil 5 and wear my coat to work!
