Envy!

According to the Good Book, Envy is one of the Seven Deadly Sins!
I seem to suffer from this one every time I pass houses along the canal side with people sitting lazily outside, either sipping their G&Ts or reading a book or just chatting. I have a veranda with a decent view over the loch with plenty of space for a table & chairs. Who uses it most?  our over-fed & over-weight Guinea Pig!
Envy? Because I don't have the sort of nature that allows me to sit there quietly quaffing wine or whatever . What am I doing instead? I'm painting a damn toolbox with  black Hamerite paint!
How I envy these people!
