We are still in the grip of this terrible heatwave. For me ,the days are long, hot, humid and sticky,dragging on unbearably until after sunset. It is a fraction cooler then, -but oh those nights as the damp descends!
Thank God we are next to the sea for early morning coolness,- a life-saver for me.
Grab the towel before sunrise,creep out quietly and head for the little bay. So peaceful! Nobody in sight, a few boats lying tranquilly in still clear water. Morning mist giving way to sun peeping over rooftops, sky turning softly blue.A blessed peace!
The water cool, fresh,welcoming. I swim a little, breathing deeply, then float for a while feeling deep gratitude.Music wafts quietly over the water,soothing, delightful,----this must be Heaven.
A few fishermen arrive on the pier, it's time to go!----I swim a little longer,lingering, delaying the moment, but it has to be faced. Off now to face the day,basking still in the glow, already dreaming of tomorrow----early----early!
