Has summer already happened?
I’ve managed to try some golf, fly some kites, play a bit of badminton, and finish yet another first draft. I’ve even been ass-fisted by the patio at work. But I still feel like the season has slipped past. Perhaps it’s because I’ve been reclusive. Even for me.
But, at the moment, I just can’t be bothered.
The clubs, pubs and parties bore me.
All summer I’ve been waiting for one thing or another. I’ve been two steps ahead of myself, waiting for things done yesterday to catch up. And I’m usually content with this. I want a head start, especially when I’m competing with myself. But I don’t want to be waiting by the finish line while I watch myself plodding along the horizon. I feel like the hare taking a nap as I wait for the tortoise to catch up.
Right now, there’s just too much past in my future.

I could eat some mushrooms. They were always a quick reboot on the brain. A sudden fresh perspective on things. Sadly, I had to stop taking those years ago. My comedowns turned into some sleepless hell. After a certain age, the last thing you need is a fresh perspective. It’s to be avoided.
Besides, the idea of dedicating a whole evening to giggling at trees just leaves me cold.
You know, I think it’s been raining too much.

How about going to the nude beach on the island for a change of perspective. Wear only your hat.

It’s not a bad idea. Applying the sunscreen would be more fun than usual. But I think the nude beach on the island is basically a bathhouse.
