I am pleased to report that the Black Pearl knows how to do summer just as gloriously as winter. Today I got my usual seat by what is normally a wall of windows, and today was slid completely open. So I was indoors, yet outdoors, with cool and warm air swirling together deliciously, and a really excellent cucumber cocktail to enjoy it with as the summer music festival crowd strolled by.

And then I got some also excellent fudge on the way home, and the world is good.

Also at Extreme Fire Risk, but so it goes.
