Working with a balcony

It turns out that summertime is a nice time to work from home. 

We have a small balcony out the bedroom, that has been a little too cold to use until very recently. Very recently, I have taken advantage of the small balcony when I can. 

 

Pretty, isn't it?

It isn't all sunshine and rainbows. You have to sweep it really well before use, or your socks turn black, and you tread spiders back into the bedroom when you come inside. 

And it isn't very private: twelve different apartments have balconies overlooking the same bit of grass and trees, so unless you want them all listening in, it's not a super great place for online meetings. 

But in the summertime, it smells wonderful to be outside, and feels wonderful to feel a breeze on your skin, to hear birds in the branches nearby during your seminar.

A balcony is yet another reason to be happy to still work from home.
