an armour against future unhappiness

Friday: a most excellent day. I gave a presentation on Iris Murdoch's The Bell, then bought and ate a piece of rocket cake on my way to the library. On my way back home, I saw a man in a red jacket calmly sitting on the wall. It was a pop of colour against the green and brown of his surroundings, I wonder whether he was aware of that.
I walked on past the tall trees and the ivy. It was warm and humid. I decided to explore the bit of land next to the allotments, and to my delight it turned out to be an old graveyard. A good place to spend a summer afternoon. It started to rain and I felt very tired and very content.
Later, we went for a walk, chose random vegetables in the supermarket and made the most delicious meal. Well, I didn't really do anything but eat it.
Saturday morning made me realise that I love early mornings. They are so quiet, the birds sing, the light is soft and lovely. I walked home and fell asleep again.
