One Man’s Walk through life

What Could Be Better

I am struck by how fortunate I am.

I woke up this morning at 9:30, just because that’s when I happened to wake up. I brushed my teeth went downstairs to check my e-mail. I had a piece of bread and tea, then I walked down the street to where I picked up more bread and some eggs.

Books are seriously expensive here, but I couldn’t resist, and on the way back, I bought a copy of the second Harry Potter book (en español, por supuesto!). I’m still in a good mood after finished the first Harry Potter book yesterday. It is the first spanish book I’ve read in years, and the it wasn’t easy, and I’m a bit proud of my accomplishment.

When I got back to the Platypus, I put up the hammock and crawled in. I don’t have to do anything today. At all. As my goal for the time being is to learn spanish, I’ll probably stay right here, in this hammock, under a sunny, warm sky for the next 8 hours learning about the “Chamber of Secrets” or rather, “La Cámara Secreta”. Life is good.
