The Monday morning balcony

I’ve been doing a bunch of client-facing work again recently, and have had places to be in the morning. Today I’m back on the balcony again having a coffee and watching the morning sun while we wait for some tradespeople to come in for some maintenance. It’s been a while since I’ve done this, and it’s lovely! It’s almost as though we bought this place because it had a nice semi-enclosed balcony. I’m glad I’m wearing a scarf, though! Forcing myself to sit on the balcony for fresh air and sunshine was instrumental for me not going bananas during those initial Covid lockdowns. I’m solar powered, so feeling the outside world is how I “wake up” in the mornings, especially during times of the year where there’s less sunlight to begin with. Give it a try if you’re able, even if the weather is less than optimal. I’ll bet those of you in houses would have it even better. By Ruben Schade in Sydney, 2026-11-09.
