Early morning at "Riverbend"

 

 

The river is blanketed in thick mist which heralds another hot day coming up. The house is still all quiet as I make myself my first cup of tea for the day. Padma will meet another lady from the 'bitch-and-stitch' craft group for coffee at the café in the village across the river which will give me a few hours of uninterrupted reading-time.

My old Windows 10 computer wouldn't start this morning. I 'Ctrl-Alt-Delete'd it several times, then pulled the power cord, then started again. It's getting old like me. Perhaps it's time I traded it in for a new one! Perhaps it's time I traded in my old body for a new one as well!

Anyway, Padma has prepared my breakfast; the radio is shouting out the latest news; my short reverie is over and I'm back in the land of the living. To my friends in the (c)old country, don't despair! The world hasn't ended yet; it's already Saturday morning here. Seize the carp.
