It was a day of two halves today.

I’d taken it as leave to go get some meteor photos last night

I headed out at 11 trying to fight off the clouds, expecting to be home again disappointed 30 min later

Instead, I’m not sure what time I got in, determination turned it into a waiting game

a game the paid off in the end.

however 8am rolled around and I was awake despite the late bed time

So from there it was up and out into the garden.

A full day [url=http://www.flickr.com/photos/heenan/4889137504/]laying grass[/url] in the rain

It’s been a long time since I last had an excuse to be outside in heavy rain soaked to the skin but not caring.

I used to do it on my mountain bike while growing up

it’s a feeling I love, out in nature without a care in the world

All in all, a successful day on both accounts

A very satisfying way to use a days leave.
