helluoliborumIs there anything better than when it's cold and wet outside, and you're in a blanket nest on the couch with the person you love?
Well, almost. It's when you're there, in front of a burning fire, with a good book and a steaming mug of hot chocolate (not just any hot chocolate - Galaxy toasted marshamallow flavour with a dusting of salted caramel sugar dusted on top), and some ginger nut biscuits to dunk in it. It is divine!
The dog is asleep on my feet, one of the cats on my lap and the other on Raleigh's. They are playing on their Switch, Mario Kart from the sounds of things. I have some Prokofiev playing - Piano Concerto No. 3 in C, Op. 26: 1. Andante - Allegro - and I have a good book on my Kindle.
I'm reading The Enigma Game by Elizabeth Wein which isn't my usual type of book but I picked up Code Name Verity on Borrowbox the other day, discovered it was part of a series but none of the library resources had any of the others so I picked them up. After all, what else is a book glutton supposed to do? According to Raleigh, return the book I picked up and chose something else. Hah!
All in all, it's a wonderful comfortable pleasant way to spend an evening and I am a happy old queer.
