Just before midnight

What a glorious day of glorious gloriousness today has been. A whole day with sister Sophie, for the first time in what feels like forever. Mathew was on great form and fell increasingly in love with her as the day progressed. The weather was an absolute Godsend and my old enemy Time seemed to play along with the spirit of the day and drags its heels on the ground and pass slowly. I barbecued without burning, I drank without getting drunk and I carried out conversations without muttering about myself. It is late in the day and I feel refreshed, touched by the Sun and thoroughly, totally, stupefyingly content.
