Sofas, Breast Enhancements And Cheese

It's still surprising what is surprising in the North..

The other morning we were taxiing as usual to the middle of nowhere, otherwise known as Morrisons head office, and listening to the taxi drivers choice of tunes.  But this was not the surprise, the surprise was what was on between the talking and music:

Advert One: 
Spring is here, its that time of year when you want to throw open the windows stick your head out the window and breathe in the fresh air, but then you think, ah my lounge is not up to scratch, time to get a new sofa!

Advert  Two:
Its that time of year to make a change, why not get a breast enhancement for only £2500 (cheaper than I thought)

Advert Three:
Ah the joy of nothing days, those glorious days where you have nothing planned and you can just sit around and eat slice after slice of cheese. (To be honest the actual ad was more descriptive than this but its the best I can remember)

Morning Positano


Thanks to the couple in the room next door who woke me up early enough to see the stillness of the world.  I love this time of day, the moment when its just you and the birds and the breeze.  When the thoughts can come and stay for a while without being rushed off by the need to hurry out into the day.

I remember being told at an Ashram in India that people can live off air, I took everything there with a grain of salt, but perhaps this is what they meant.  

Up early enough I feel I can feed my soul on the surroundings.  The freshness in the air cooling my eyes, puffy from sleep, drifting out to the silkiness of the sea, where the fisherman, the seemingly only other person awake, sails out into the remaining glints of pink in the sky.  Taking in the vista, its hard not to feel at peace.  

Sadly its a fleeting moment, and not long before the hum of engines and the clink of breakfast plates joins the birds. Morning I hope to visit with you again soon, and listen to what more tales you have to tell me.
