An (almost) perfect day

Waking up and cuddling a bit before getting out of bed. Showering, dressing, putting on the rollerblades. Don't forget the shoes - ah, there they are. Leaving and the elevator is working today - great! Morning roll down by the lake into work. Perfect time to rollerblade as hardly any tourists down by the lake yet and perfect weather - sunny, but not yet too hot. Lovely. Beautiful Geneva around me, a breeze from the lake, wakening up sliding softly forward.

Work.

Lunchtime - yeah! Rollers on again, more people now, but not in any hurry so don't get irritated. Down to the lake again, other direction this time, in direction of Lausanne. Feels sooo good sliding forward so make an extra tour after bains-des-Paquis, there were fewer people walk. Perfect. Feeling my shoulders fall back down, all stress evaporating, enjoying life.

Stop for sushi and they have some of my favourites - super! Take away of course, and roll back down to the lake for a swim this time. Dive into the water from my favourite spot. 22° the water is nice, the world is beautiful and a stupid grin slowly spreads over my face. Can life be better than this?

Finally get up, and dry off in the sun while enjoying the sushi. A quite irritating bee wants to share my meal against my will. I put some rice a bit further away hoping it will be happy with that, but of course, of no interest - it want the big pieces! Finally manage to chase it away, or so I think, finish my meal and lie down to read the paper. Ahhh, revenge of the bee, I suddenly feel a huge pain in my arm and see parts of a smashed bee there. Not as lovely. Try to relax again but my arm is throbbing and starting to look quite ugly so decide to go back to work – it is time anyway.

Still a lovely day, almost a perfect day, spare the stupid bee and, well yes, work :)
