This shall be short, firstly because it has no "deep" philosophical/spiritual point, secondly it's rare I get to blog my thoughts soon after I have them (I'm usually at work or in bed!) So I haven't had time to mull! Anyway...
Sometimes there are moments in life that seem almost entirely perfect.
I just had one of those moments.
It's Sunday lunch time (albeit a tad late). I have made myself a fantastic (if I do say my self) effectively bangers and mash, although I prefer it's less common name of sausages, potato that has been pulverized by a plastic instrument, and peas. To accompany this I made the most delightful gravy (part water, oxo cube, bovril, red wine and lea 'n' perrins). The pulverized potato had roasted garlic in it. Yum. Anyway the foods not the most important thing here!
I decided to sit outside at my garden table and eat this as it was sunny.
This became the 90% moment. It was beautiful sunshine. My food was extra scrummy. The beas were flying among the overgrown dandelions in my unkempt "wild look" garden, yet keeping far enough away from me not to bring on my (I think rational, others would argue against this) fear of being stung. All in all just wonderful.
The 90% lacks from 100% (as 90% always does! (I've never found 90% to be the same as 100%). To make this up to 100% it breaks down like this.
1% - Have my family with me.
1% - Have some but not all my close friends (Don't want it to be a party just a friendly gathering).
1% - Have Becca around.
2% - Be somewhere more beautiful. Yorkshire would do the trick wonderfully.
1% - Not have to go back to work tomorrow.
1% - Not feel like I would burn if I was out here too long.
1% - Not have to worry about my report at all.
1% - Not have to wash up!
1% - Be able to stay there forever!
However 90% is no bad thing! So am happy.
Hold onto such moments for they are ones that stick with you and ones you will look back on with fondness.
