Summer of twenty eleven



Isn't life beautiful ?

I'm lying in bed,

listening to Adele on repeat.

Her song,

* Someone like you * is one of the best

songs I've heard this year.

A plane just flew overhead

and I imagine I can smell the sea.

The sounds of summer are all around me

like a string of salty pearls.

Beaches with stones,

those are the ones I like.

Yes,

the ones with sand too,

but the stones speak to me,

I think of the waves that wash over them

year after year.

The years before you or I were here.

And the years after you and I are gone.

What a thought!

All those ocean dreams.

Ebbing and flowing with the tides.

Like life.

  1. I love Adele and "Someone Like You Too", but also "Set Fire to the Rain" which plays on the radio every single morning when I'm at work and I find myself dancing around the aisles at Sainsbury's, singing along silently inside my head!

    I think the summer of 2011 is going to be the best yet!

Pretty misty stars

A sound of birds singing

 It's early.  And almost a year since I was here. I hear a sound of birds singing  outside my window and a dog barking down the street. ...
