Autumn sunshine

It's my day off and having the luxury of rising later, I lazed in bed for a while watching the shards of light slicing through the venetian blinds and piercing the curtains of the bedroom. Such sights fill me with excitement as it promises warmth and light for the day.
Getting out of bed, flinging wide the curtains and drawing the blinds brings a delicious warmth into the house and makes one feel wonderfully alive.
I'm excited; today's chores do not seem onerous, partly because some of them are in preparation for a long anticipated journey, a pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela. In fact, I should stop now and get on with them.
