There are some days, and this I assure you is one of them,* where you realise how much you would like to just kick back in an easy garden chair and suck down on a long ice cold beer.**

Just imagine it wherever you are now: the grass just touching your feet so that every time you move them you almost get tickled. The warm dry air with the occasional breeze so that it's not unbearable. The sun at that level where it's keeping you at just that perfect temperature and is also managing to stay out of your eyes. You are just feeling about perfect when...

Panic! Your drink is almost over. But before you can get depressed about such a horrendous state of affairs one of your greatest friends comes out of the kitchen with a refill, a snack and ready for one of those fabulous lazy sunshine chats. That's where I want to be while I'm stuck on the tube. I don't know about you.

* Well it was when I wrote it. I have no idea what kind of day it will be when you read this.
