Happy July 4

To anyone who is basking in the sun, sitting beside a pool, eating enormous amounts of BBQ, or even manning a fireworks stand... have a great holiday....

July 4th on this side of the world for me involved a long drive (without any food or a SINGLE COFFEE!!!) to get a whole heap of medical tests done before heading off overseas again...
I also got to pretend I was a pin cushion with the number of injections I got.

Too much SUN!!!

Starting to be Autumny here... so just starting to get a little cooler...
I am at my favourite position outside my favourite coffee shop, and have been working pretty well...  just completed a document I have been working on.....
BUT - because of the change in season, the sun has changed position...  so now it is hitting me full in the face...

I know that it might conceivably be possible for me to sit in another position... but gosh darn it.. this is my spot!!!

I am forced to conclude that despite what I might think, this is absolute proof that the universe does not revolve around me.... who woulda thunk it?

Now - if you will excuse me.. I think I need to go and have a headache now.

don't it just...

I would not have thought so.
Still it is on the window.
Large as life,
You cannot argue with it.
Everything here seems to be embodied with meaning
The coffee, a hotel stay, a towel
I wonder if it sounds as corny to the locals?
Nonetheless....
Who would have thought a coffee could do so much.....
The door says so - so who am I to argue?

Starbucks... the place to...
