Sunday morning hammock edition

So, we have this new hammock. Hubby has tested it and found it safe. What took him so long about it was that it was very comfortable and his pleasant wife brought him something to drink, the newspaper and even some icecream. Yes, testing a hammock for safety is hard work and takes a lot of time, doesn't it? But finally, early afternoon (Saturday), hubby had proclaimed it safe enough for me. And I couldn't wait to get into it. 

It definitely is safe. So, I do not fall out of it when I try to get in or out. No, the only problem that I had was when I was in it, I couldn't get out at all. It was too deep for me at first, and I felt almost as if I was immobilized. My attempt was good enough to make hubby laugh, because I was struggling like a beetle on the back. Since I was too deep down in it, the sides of the hammock came too high. Comfy, but a foolproof prison. I did not mind much at first, but after another ten minutes, I needed to get out, urgently. Hubby helped me, and once I was back, we put some cushions in and that was all it took. I could get out on my own, I could even sleep on the side, and I did.

Hubby woke me up early in the evening after two hours of uninterrupted sleep, so this one is going to be the place I'll be in often, I think. I could have slept longer, all in all, but I really do need to visit the bathroom a lot.

I don't know how long I can really use the hammock on my own, but just this summer would be great. It would not work for a whole night, because I am squeezed into it from the sides, if the cushions are not in the right spots, but it is lovely, sleeping in it has been easier than it has been for most days last week.

Here it is outside, in the garden, just the right place for a catnap :-)
(Picture problem: it seems that I have made it a high quality picture, so it loads really slowly, but you can see my swollen toes in detail :-)   )

Bonus: this hammock works on  Sundays !
