Hey @NatureLover
It's so good to see you.
I managed an hours sleep after 6 am .
That's why I ordered a triple shot coffee when @Emelia8 offered me breakfast.
Did you give any thought to what song you would imagine listening sitting at the beach, like we talked about?

I thought you might just be having coffee for breakfast! I'm really glad you got one hours' sleep, I wish it was more though. @Lee71
I gave a lot of thought to what song I wanted to link...I want to explain. I needed a favourite song that didn't already have any memories attached...because music is so powerful for me, I want to keep the memories that are already attached to songs. So I tried many songs, then hit upon this one...the memories and thoughts attached to it are going to be of the beach and you...that's partly why I chose it...because of the lyrics "I'm not giving you up"...I don't want to lose you to suicide, Lee. 💔
And in case that's too serious for you at this time in the morning (I know you're not a morning person!), the song also has a beach, relaxed, mellow feel - I can imagine sitting with my toes in the water, just enjoying the beautiful music and the sand and sea...

How about you @NatureLover ... something for you as well? I know its a bit late for breaky, but brunch perhaps?
The cold, blustery, strong winds are back again this morning. At least it eased up a bit overnight, which was good.
