Six O’Clock Vintage

Seek those images that constitute the wild, the lion and the virgin, the harlot and the child. Find in middle air an eagle on the wing, recognize the five that make the Muses sing. | W.B Yeats, Those Images

Cabernet and Tempranillo

Last night was a good night. Warm pasta and spicy red wine followed by Christmas carols and more wine. I even got to read some Tolstoy; a better holiday evening may actually be impossible to be had!

I must say that I am in good spirits. I’ve learned that a long monotonous day can be broken up quite nicely by an hour spent with gourmet coffee and a good book, so that is how my lunch breaks have been spent. The walk there freshens me with cold invigorating air, and I always return with a more vibrant imagination and a stimulated palate.

What are other strategies to make a long day better?

  2. Sleep is definitely good, but it’s not really possible for the middle of my work day, though I must admit that I have had several extremely pleasurable naps upon returning from work.
