It's true you can't live here by chance,
you have to do and be, not simply watch
or even describe. This is the city of action,
the world headquarters of the verb -

look at the sea, frantic with masts and sails,
the land galloping down to it, gorse flowers
flying, wind in its mane of flax; and then,
there it is, crags with their feet in

the water getting breath for the next
round. Swimmers here swim, they don't loll
about, wind surfers likewise skim, plunge,
the very gulls are wilder than most, they

hardly land; or if they do that too is a kind
of flight, the arm of the wind coming up
and ruffling their frills - the wind, yes indeed,
incorrigible voyeur that never goes home.

I am very very thirsty. I may have to recruit someone to run to the soda machine for me. They should install a drinking fountain at my desk. That would rock.

felinegroovy is coming to Perk tonight. I am going to bring my three big photo albums from New Zealand to show off. This will be rather more than I usually carry around with me. But it will be fun.

Outside this building, there is a little benchy area with a statue in the middle. The statue is an elephant. I love it- it's adorable. I'm looking forward to warm weather when I can bring lunch with me and eat it outside with the elephant. Today is a lovely day- still long-sleeves weather, but also drive-with-the-window-down weather. It's feeling springy. People keep telling me that it's going to rain for the rest of the week, but I choose not to dwell on that. Right now, I'm enjoying the fact that there's sunshine and I'm happily anticipating quality time with the elephant when finally the opportunity comes.

Still thirsty.

ETA: Water! Cold, sweet, refreshing water! What a fine thing!
