I do not normally keep a diary. I never have done as there has not really been much of interest to record. I go to work, live my life, try to be good to others as best I can, and that is about it really. I learned a long time ago that a modern woman has to be self-sufficient. I earn a decent wage, have a little house and keep myself busy.
My age is 40. I am trim, and have long hair and large eyes. My eyes are the thing that the few men in my life have fallen in love with over the years. Apparently they are doe-like, gentle, but they have not got me anywhere in the long-run. I remain unmarried, but content with my life.
I live in a cosy semi-detached cottage. My elderly neighbour Ethel passed away two years ago. I was sad about this at the time as she and I got along well and did have some laughs even when she was poorly and in need with my help. Her half of the cottage has now been empty since. I keep an eye on it, but have got used to being on my own until recently. I feel the need to record recent events. Perhaps when I am 80, my nieces will be delighted to know that their elderly aunt was a bit of a fox in her day. I will give this writing lark a try. Forgive me reader if I do not do this well. It is new to me...

The relief at being at home for the weekend! I am often busy, so it was a sheer delight to wake and see that the sun was shining. In the UK the weather is unpredictable, so there and then I decided to lie in my hammock in the garden after breakfast. I love the feel of the warm sun on my skin, so took a drink, a book and put my bikini on. Cushions are the final part of my recipe to build a good 'hammock nest'.
Once I had washed my dishes, I ventured out, positioned my cushions carefully, put my drink and book on a nearby tale, and climbed into my hammock with a sigh of satisfaction.
My garden is a little overgrown. I like it this way as I love nature, love the changing colours of the leaves throughout the seasons, and also love my privacy. No-one can see into my garden, and I always feel happy and relaxed there. The windows of the cottage next door overlook me a little, but there is no-one there now.
I relaxed, and began to feel my eyelids closing. The feel of the sun on my skin was a treat, so I decided as I was on my own to take my bikini top off. My breasts are small but pert, and almost disappear when I am lying on my back. It felt naughty and delightful to lie there and just 'be'.
I must have nodded off for a brief time. I opened my eyes and wondered what the time was. I did not wish to burn as although the rest of my body is quite brown, my breasts are white and vulnerable. I blinked a little and then paused. I had a distinct feeling of being watched. Surely not? I looked up out of instinct and just saw a movement in one of the upstairs windows next door...or did I? Perhaps not. I decided reluctantly that it was probably time to go indoors. The sunburnt lobster look was not a look I was aiming for.
The rest of the day passed gently. I read a little, ate and did some housework. The rest of the weekend was unremarkable.

I always seem to manage to make myself late on a Monday morning, however early I rise! I realised that it was definitely time to leave the house, grabbed my bag and car keys and hurried out of the front door. I gave a 'start' and dropped my bag as the front door to Ethel's house opened at the same time and a man stepped out! I bent to retrieve my bag, stood up once more and ended up face to face with a pleasing looking man. He was tall, but not too tall; perhaps a shade under six foot. He had very dark hair with just the beginnings of grey around the temples. His eyes seemed sort of golden and merry...I realised I was staring and immediately looked down at my feet.
"Good morning," he said in a deep voice with a definite American accent. "Sorry to have startled you. My name is Benjamin. I'm Ethel's great-nephew and I'm here to fix-up the place and have a little vacation. Your name is?"
"Anna," I replied breathlessly. "Sorry Benjamin, but I am late and have to go. Nice meeting you," is all I managed before scuttling to my car.
"Catch you later Ms Anna," he replied as I unlocked my car and climbed in. "Perhaps the sun will be out again later!"
He must have seen me in my hammock on Saturday. I focussed on starting my car and did not look at him again as I drove away. I felt a little flushed and embarrassed at the thought of him seeing me nearly naked, but found myself quite turned-on by the idea. I turned my attentions to the working day ahead.

Yesterday ended up being quite cloudy and overcast. During the evening, I could hear sawing and drilling coming from next door. I wondered what Benjamin was doing. Would the house be done-up and sold? I decided it would be quite nice to have a new neighbour, but I would lose the privacy I had become used to over the past couple of years. I was tempted to knock on the door and go round out of sheer nosiness, but wasn't brave enough.
I only saw Benjamin to wave to this morning, but he smiled at me and I smiled back. When I got home from work, the sun was out. As I climbed once again into my hammock in the lazy afternoon sun, I defiantly told myself that this is what I would be doing anyway regardless of the presence next door. I put on a pair of sunglasses, relaxed and made myself comfortable, trying to ignore the steady sounds of hammering and drilling.
I must have dozed briefly again because when I opened my eyes, the drilling sounds had stopped. I looked up at the upstairs window next door from behind my dark glasses without moving my head even a fraction. Yes, there was a figure in the window. I shivered a little at what I knew I was about to do. Yawning a little, I sat up, removed my bikini top, and made a show of slowly rubbing sun lotion over my small perky breasts, then lay down once more. I hoped he was enjoying what he was seeing.
I risked a glance at the upstairs window once more without moving a muscle. I could only see his silhouette, but he was definitely still there. Because of the height of the windowsill, I could not tell how much he was enjoying the view. I felt my groin tingle with pleasure at the thought of Benjamin perhaps stroking himself. I stretched out in the hammock with another yawn, hoping that the sight of my slightly jutting hips, my flat stomach and my starkly white breasts against my tan might be making him erect. I wondered what he would do if I were to take my bikini bottoms off and lie there completely in the nude? I shut my eyes and imagined this. I pictured myself opening my legs just enough for him to see how pleased I would be to entertain him. Again, my groin tingled delightfully in response to this thought...
I 'pulled myself together.' What was I thinking? I am a sensible person, a hard-working person, yes perhaps a little man-deprived, but really? Time to go indoors and behave, I decided.
Once indoors, I flushed a little with shame. English girls are meant to be prim and proper, serving afternoon tea in the best china with little cakes on doilies, NOT exposing themselves to virtual strangers! Perhaps I had been alone for too long. I tried to focus my mind on a sensible topic, but it was no good. I climbed the stairs, undressed completely, lay on the bed and found that it took under a minute to make myself cum, stroking my sopping wet swollen clit! What had this man done to me?

I exited the house as usual in a bit of a 'flap' and a panic, wondering if I had got everything I needed for the day. Benjamin was leaning over the engine bay of a ridiculously large vintage truck with the bonnet up, topping-up his screen wash by the look of it. At the sound of my footsteps, he looked up and smiled.
"Morning Ms Anna, how are you today?" He then strolled up to me, water jug in hand.
