A very lazy day

Today we have taken a day off, and decided to spend the day at the pool. We have everything up there that we need to just be able to while away the day, lazing, not doing anything of any importance, just drifting, reading, having a swim, or laying and looking up at the rich blue sky, with not a cloud in sight.

The village is still, I can hear the rustle of the wind through the leaves on the trees, a bug buzzes by, off to be a nuisance somewhere else, the collar doves coo in the distance, the umbrella creeks as the gentle wind catches it, lightly. Brian turns a page on his book, he never breaks the spines, so it’s a careful turn, but I know he’s reading. The church bell chimes. Hmm, that reminds me briefly of the time, I want to put a joint of lamb in the oven for dinner, to slowly roast in lashings of oil, garlic, some leeks, carrots and rosemary.

Those still summer days just floating by. I think another little snooze, before I get up to start our evening. A chilled glass of white I think, or maybe a light red to enjoy with dinner. Now that’s a question for Brian, not a decision I can be making on a day like today.
