contemplate your favourites.

Summer.

1. Diving off docks into water that's almost too cold late late at night, shouting to friends on the raft, friends at the house.

2. Wearing cut-offs, jean shorts unravelling with v-necks and tank tops, bearing bony shoulders and muscular legs.

3. Running, feet pounding dusty trails and skipping past tourists and hikers, legs and face dripping sweat and reaching long and strong to the end.

4. Cycling downtown, an old white road bike and beat up leather sandals, summer skirts flying and white wine in the bottle holder.

5. Dinners with the family at the beach, summer vegetables from the garden, steaks on the barbeque, the clatter of the kitchen drifting out to the porch, six o'clock sunlight drifting to coolness.

I can't wait.
