oh those 4am blues, i awake still under the europian time influence, somewhat perky but i notice the chill in the air, at least it's not raining. i have had a dream, a series of text messages sent from a friend encouraging me to go to the beach and see the sun rise. i may as well. so i haul myself down, it's still quite dark but i stop for a coffee and find a park space opposite the water. 

when the sun does rise around 0630 it's magnificent and i am not disappointed. i sigh, and think how fortunate i am to have ended up here, so much beauty, nature in all it's glory sprawled out. the sunlight is lovely, warms my skin, embraces me in love and i feel blessed. the surf is huge, it's magnificent in strength and i ponder entry. not today. when i chat to a fellow local who asks where i have been, we swap stories.

i drive home via the car cleaning place, my car is over run with spider webs and looks pretty shabby. i figure as it's a new car i should aspire to keep it in mint condition. 

later i have to go to work. it's underwhelming. i feel different now.
