Day 198 - 08:16am, 18 July 2019
Having woken early this morning, I return to sleep to await my alarm. It dutifully goes off as expected, but less expected is that I fall straight back asleep when I switch it off. Thankfully, one of the kids begins to move around upstairs and reawakens me before it is too late. However, it means the morning routine is set aside in favour of getting out the front door to work as soon as I reasonably can.
In taking the photo I notice that the driftwood from the recent flooding has been cleared from its chosen resting place at the foot of the tree on the opposing riverbank (you can just about see it stacked against the sides of the wall). I wonder too at how quickly the little island has recovered. The water-trampled strip of grass has been superseded by the next generation of greenery, which takes no care or joy in the demise of its predecessors, rather taking full advantage of the opportunity that has presented itself.
