Laughter Is the Sun

Laughter is the sun that drives winter from the human face.

Victor Hugo

The sun is here! The sun is here!

Okay. Deep breath.

Calm down.

Relax.

Glance around.

The sun is here!

Okay, now I’m done. But can you really blame me? It has been a loooong and grey winter, and I’ve spent most of it waiting for the spring. And finally, it has arrived. I feel like a bear waking up from hibernation. My energy levels have hit the roof and it feels like I could conquer the world.

Past experience tells me, this will only last about a week or two, but I’ll enjoy it as long as I can.

The sun, also, equals sunglasses. These ones I found in Rome last year. They were suitably quirky…and cheap (7 euros.) So of course I had to buy them. Let’s see how long these ones will last. I haven’t had much luck with my glasses. You might even call me the ”Destroyer of Sunglasses”.

Please don’t.

Fortunately, they’re not my only pair of sunglasses. Not by a long shot. But they are one of my favourites at the moment, which means I’ll inevitably sit on them or something.

As for the photos…Well, my mom always told me: If you keep making that face, it will stay that way.

Obviously, I never listened.
