I normally wouldn’t be writing at this time of night, but have been awakened by pounding sheets of rain — much like the wind-driven rains of hurricanes, of which I’ve been through a few on the island.
The noise & quantity of water amazes! Great to be refilling le cistern! It’s also always exciting to feel safe . . . in the eye of a storm.
This storm comes after a great Valentines evening . . . a late dinner at L’Esprit, allowing several young-&-in-love couples to take tables ahead of me while I enjoyed a cocktail at the bar and a couple of very tasty amuse bouches.
Such a great night! Missing moi espouse, but relaxing quietly & seeing great friends who were earlier in the dining rotation. I enjoyed an unusual dinner of fresh Cod with duck! Dessert was — quite unusually — an individually prepared Grand Mariner soufflé!
. . . now, as the rain is abating, I’m again falling into the arms of gentle slumber! How do we count the ways in which SBH nurtures a life of tranquility!
