fun in the sun

had a picnic in the park and heavy relaxing on the beach today- all in an amazingly beautiful and almost too perfect a summer's day today. there's a place on the beach opened called the beach club on bay of plenty.. where you can finally buy beer and drink it in public and in the sand. needless to say it rocks. situation now: I'm very tired. had really bad night last night, where i slept in the house rather than in my flat, as im convinced i saw someone in my garden while i was watching tv. something that got the blood pumping far too quickly in my system. it was strange as i was watching hamlet; a story that already i love and intrigues me, and it was a particular scene where hamlet is talking to the ghost of his dead father. i saw a movement by the garage, and immediately thought how powerful and weird my imagination was, that the story was impacting on my vision and making me hallucinate like hamlet too. well it wasn't my imagination nor was it hallucinations, it was most definitely someone who must have had the biggest balls ever to come and check out my house- it was early, around 11 pm, all our lights and doors were open, and he was strolling around the garden. it was a really strange experience; i have only been in a few experiences like this where i can feel my heart and the world stop for a while. only a few seconds later does the adrenaline kick in and everything speeds up again. it all turned out fine, and rather funny looking back on it- my father (who was asleep as a log the whole time) and i, with torches and bobbyknockers missioning around the garden, with not a soul in sight. no matter how crazy i am, there's no way that was the power of my imagination. hence: the need today for lots of relaxing and summer fun; mainly to attempt my heart to beat quietly in rhythm again. it was a perfect summer day today. we can only hold thumbs that it'll be the same tomorrow, which enables us to repeat (with the utmost pleasure) the same procedures as today (same procedures every year james). all that fun and excitement tired me out; luckily again i came home to fresh fillet and great dinners, but which added to the exhaustion evident now. im off to bed; my duvet and book are calling me name, gently in the background. i fear there is nothing to be done but listen to that gentle siren call. i couldn't wish for more.
