A perfect day begins early, with a pot of coffee and a good book to read by dawn light through the picture window which frames Mount Hope. When the sun pops over the mountain I close the drapes to keep the room cool.
When it is not summer holiday, or if I have no visitors, a perfect day includes four or five hours at my computer making up stories. I'm working on a novel, working title Shine, about aging gracefully. It involves journeys into various Interiors, in British Columbia and Ireland.
A perfect day includes meeting friends for coffee at the Blue Moose.
A perfect day includes a walk with a friend into the forest or down to the creek or over to the river. If it is Saturday, the walk may include a garage sale or two or the outdoor market in the park.
Supper finished and dishes done, I settle down to watch Coronation Street.
A perfect day ends with a full moon shining across my double bed.
