A Perfect Day is a very Fragile Thing Indeed!

A day for a perfect drive!

Sunday, October 13th, 2013 is one for the record books. It has been a truly perfect day in so many ways. My wife and I arose early, for a Sunday to attend a morning concert n Valencia City. The weather was bright, dry, with a breeze that felt soft to the skin. Temperatures would rise to 30 degrees, but that soft breeze kept the sun in a kind mood.

We left the house and drove out onto the "B" roads that then led us to the "A" roads. Traffic was very light, and what there was went about its business in a reasoned manner. There was a time when you coud not venture out onto the highway without encountering someone with manure for brains. Today, all my fellow drivers were considerate, as I was to them.

Best of all was the vast majority of traffic lights were green, just for us. We arrived at the Music Palace in time to park and get seated just in time before the start to give ourselves five minutes to relax. I will describe the concert as being O.K. It was a fundraiser for charitable work being undertaken in Rwanda, a country that can use all the help it can get. There were parts of the concert that were pleasing, so I will leave it at that.

Following the concert we paid a visit to a new friend, and we then made our way home via a different route. Still, traffic was light and driving was very pleasent.

We took our lunch on our terrace in a nice leisurely style, and following that I read from my new book, "I am Malala!"

And then I fell fast asleep. So wonderful!

A perfect day is like fine cut crystal, prone to shatter by the least little thing. They happen very rarely so when they do we tend to enjoy them all that much more.

Life is so wonderful at times!
