Woken by...
Electric hiss from the bedroom down the corridor,
Vague (phantom?)pains in the nether regions,
Finding oneself on the bedge (edge of the bed),
Feeling too warm,
The knowledge that the Roman Empire and its history awaits,
Thoughts of breakfast,
A lightly coloured night sky with premonitions of rain,
The realisation that there are only a few more songs/concerts to go,
Financial worries!,
Hopes for children and life partner("You're gonna make me lonesome when you go"...),
Fears of increasingly yellow complexion (who wants to make an exit as a lemon??),
...the gifts of sleep and comfort would be most welcome now!
...anybody else out there not sleeping?

If life gives you lemons, make lemonade. (There's a platitude for you.)
ReplyDelete...or lemon cheesecake.
ReplyDeleteYES! If life is feeding you cream cheese at the same time, of course. And I remember one caving trip we had lemon meringue yogurt.
ReplyDeleteYeah - who chose that?
ReplyDeleteWhat was our best dessert??
