My old hammock stand rusted so I got a new one which I put up last night. No instructions came with it so I had to go by the pictures on the website. It is supposed to be easy to put up and take down, but I don't think it easy enough to take down every time rain is forecast - but I will take it down and put it away for the winter.
It is under the overhang of my neighbours' ash tree and I spent some time today lying in my hammock reading and watching the swifts, and the occasional pigeon flying overhead.
I also put out the wooden slatted deckchair. I don't mind this getting caught in a shower but not to get wet too often, so put it out only when the weather forecast for several days is good. I sat in it this morning eating my breakfast (my own strawberries and loganberries on cereal) watching a dozen swifts - maybe more, they were flying so fast!
There is a theory that being green often involves not doing very much, so I have been quite green today!
Yes, it is all the botherers who use up so much energy, both human and fossil fuels. If only more people were more idle, perhaps we would have a greener world.
