For a year of gazing out my office window I dreamed of a sunny seashore, steel drums of a poolside band, hitting all the theme parks in a blur of escapism.
But reality is a misty rain that soaks through my cotton shirt and floats uninvited under my umbrella.
I give up. I’m resigned to the lobby of my hotel with a warm pastry, steaming espresso and a panoramic window.
I watch water trailing down the glass in a mosaic of cross-cross lines that make me think of a great idea for that novel I’ve been meaning to write.
