The perfect evening



It's late,
I'm tired
and 
the day's not over yet!

but here's how it should be

a glass of whiskey
(no ice thank you and make it a double!!)

 sitting here



or maybe here



then a nice hot bath
 with lots of rose scented oil
 and
the fire lit, of course


or maybe here 
(but this would need the maid to lay out my night robe
and I don't want to have to see anyone tonight!)


so back to here 
for a long soak!


then into this chair
 to do my homework
 for the next 40 minutes
(supposed to lie on the floor but my back is too sore!!)


then I will climb in here 
where, the plain simplicity and beauty
will allow me to sleep...
 perchance to dream, of a better world


or maybe, I will curl up here with a good book
(The Holiday  by Erica James is the current one)
for just a few minutes 
before dropping of into a dreamless slumber 


and so begins the perfect evening!!!!!!

 Goodnight

  2. I'll trade you the whisky for a glass of red, but I'm racing you for that bath! I do hope you get a good night's sleep...I must head that way myself before I fall asleep at the desk and get nasty keyboard dents in my face :)

  13. You're right - this really would be the perfect evening! Would just have to be sure I had someone on standby to keep that gorgeous fire in the bathroom crackling along nicely. Leigh
