lakeside

what a great day yesterday was. i was walking along the lake, on my way to meeting a friend for lunch, and the weather was so nice that i regretted we'd chosen another place to eat. but as luck would have it, the place was closed, so when she suggested sitting at the terrace by the water, i immediately agreed. we might only have eaten sandwiches and fruit salads, but the sun was nicely baking us into idleness. when my friend left, i stayed for a while before heading lack along the lake. that's when i heard the trumpet. it turned out some young guy was having a good time sitting underneath a big tree, playing to himself (and us happy listeners), with some recorded background music. i sat myself on a nearby bench overlooking the water. there were only 2 noises i was interested in: the sound of the waves breaking on the rocks below me and the lovely jazz. it unfortunately didn't last very long, but honestly, it was great.
