This morning, after waking, having a shower and dressing, we walked down to get the car and then drove across Boston to buy a coffee at Peet’s Coffee and Tea in Brookline. Sitting on a bench by the road, we lit up a cigarette and sipped the coffee as we chatted. People walked by, cars took their occupants to their destination and the sound of the odd horn polluted the air. I love how aromas have the ability to spark thoughts in ones mind of things that you had long forgotten and, just by mentioning them, a conversation develops traversing different subjects.
The only reason that “Derek and Clive” are in the title is because they were the final part of the conversation.
“I’ll email you a link so you can listen to them”
“Great! See you later”
“Bye”
Listening to them again when I got home through YouTube was brilliant and induced a lot of laughter and smiles. I have provided a link here so that you can listen if you wish. However, If you are offended easily, then I think it best you stay clear, as the recording contains a significant amount of swearing and vulgarity. I have also provided for you an explanation of the “reason for swearing” by Billy Connolly to help you get over your problem.
The point of this blog however, has nothing to do with swearing or Derek and Clive and all to do with “the simple things in life”. You may well have written down your “50 things to do before I die” list, and are currently planning how to achieve them all. I wish you the best of luck and hope that you do, however, stop for a while, light a cigarette, sip your coffee and indulge in conversation, as it is these moments that will enrich you.
With Love
