Sleepily, waking slowly, reading wisely.

Not a bad way to see and feel the windows available to the day.

Later, donning a chef’s hat, we played cricket.

Probably imitation cricket, for we have no idea how the game really works.

Nobody needs to know how to play the game, yet everyone needs to know how to play!

Highly rated. It could not be otherwise.

We adhere to the highest standards. No, higher. Much higher.

We are in orbit.

Come and see us sometime.

Your holiday home in the stars awaits.

A stream runs through it.

The trees are blue, green and in between.

We speak our language and we are already learning yours!

Smoke rising from a twig-lit campfire.

We had erected the tents, gathered firewood, drawn water and diced vegetables.

Things were roasting, we were toasty-warm and telling silly, funny jokes.

Twist the long silk sheet, fix the pans in plain sight.

Rum, reason and promised rain.

We were under no strain.

They said it had a kick.

It was not a mule, a drink or a hand-cranked car starter.

We wondered if they knew who they were talking to.

What could the kick be or not be?

Where would it come from and through what?

They seemed to know.

Yet we began to suspect they may have been incorrect.

They had no mule and, we act not be a fool.

Now we are ready to serve you. What you want, not what we want.

That’s the way it should be, otherwise we have nothing to offer and you should not know us.

Worthwhile, just took on a new meaning…it is the original meaning!

A teak deck, a copper counter, a silk wall-lining.

We are the best, you are the best.

The best is best.
