And all that jazz...

Friday night. Jazz on the late night radio show. A glass or two of cider. A warm summer breeze comes in thru the open window. Ain't that quite a combination? It's the small things that count. A sense of happiness surrounds me, calmness and tranquility is in the air. And I promise, it's not the cider. "Summer time, and living is easy" - that's what they sing. And I guess it's true.

In the winter time the scene would be completely different; windows closed, dark outside, maybe candlelight, and still jazz on the late night radio show. Not bad either. And maybe the cool and sparkling cider could be a glass of strongish red wine instead. Very cosy, very atmospheric, very intense - but oh so different from the summer.

Summer nights are for staying up late, summer mornings for enjoying a late breakfast underneath the hot July sun, and summer days for eating strawberries and strolling along the hot and dusty city streets. In the evenings you can sit back and enjoy all that jazz...
