"I'll admit I may have seen better days,
but I'm still not to be had for the price of a cocktail,
"(Margo Channing)
Beach
The weather is spring-like this morning, and that’s glorious.I have an essay to complete so I’m on the way to the uni library, but stopped at the beach at Colwyn Bay to drink coffee and have the breeze on my face.
Our weather is proper April showers today, a coffee on the prom is a very good idea before essay writing in the library. A few minutes to come to life and ponder the meaning of the world around you. xx
It was spring here yesterday, warm, buds on the trees etc. but today it is pouring and much cooler. I wish for you successful essay writing today. Hugs Gigi
Don't let the prankster hooligans lock you in the men's toilet this time! [would it not be quieter and easier to focus, saves gas and mileage, if you worked at home? Or the library gives access to research materials for your essays?] lizzy x
I should think so! Relishing these quiet special moments stolen from a busy schedule are a chunk of what makes life worthwhile- and sent you off refreshed to write your essay. Well done.
That's a pretty spot to sit and ponder before hitting the books. Great idea. A storm is forming here hitting us from Australia, the wind is whipping the trees and the rain is coming in sideways but I always find a bit of a blow refreshing as long as it's not destructive to life and limb.
I have always thought it would be so wonderful to live close to the ocean. I can imagine the peace of the waves and the sounds and the birds... After the week you have had, you were entitled to this moment.
It's just so wonderful to be recharge by being close to the seaside even for a short while! I find it also helps me to get things in perspective sometimes if I am worried or feeling a bit low.
Lovely.
ReplyDelete"McCafe" - refreshing the parts other takeaway coffees cannot reach.
ReplyDeleteShhhh... I think spring has finally sprung! Just feeling that little bit of warmth is wonderful. Good luck getting that essay completed. xx
ReplyDeleteWe are sharing your weather today, over on that horizon.

ReplyDeletePretty nice to be able to stop by the seaside so easily! We landlocked folks are jealous.
ReplyDeleteAyr has a prom like that..good to sit in the car, have the sun warming you through the windows and a breeze through the window.

ReplyDeleteI almost fell asleep again
DeleteThe seaside and coffee are two of the best ways to start any day!
ReplyDeleteMay your essay flow from your fingers and the spelling and punctuation be perfect!
Hugs!
The subject of my essay is well-being and self awareness lol
DeleteIt was very warm here today. 75F (24C) most of the afternoon. It felt good though our home got very hot.
ReplyDeleteThat picture reminds me of raking Cockles from under the sand, taking a bucket-full home, and eating them. Lovely.

ReplyDeleteIt's wonderful to celebrate the warm Spring weather. That beach looks lovely and I always find that watching water is so calming.
ReplyDeleteThe ocean = yes! It has to just be Lake Michigan for me! Kathy
