I wish. . .to be in a place that never gets warm, but doesn't freeze; either. Couch in front of lit fireplace, holding a cup of tay with my two best buds and a few cats beside me, tay kettle and cream on mantel, a blanket over us, as an electrical storm with outragous rain comes down. Also on the mantel, a platter with chocolate hazelnut Piroulines, oatmeal mango-pineapple scones, black currant-blueberry scones, and biscotti with hazelnut and toffee bits with milk chocolate.
A cat in my lap, too.
Not in this life.
