Blink and it's gone

The day was pretty much bleak and overcast and mildly cool. 
A typical July day. A day for Mimi to relish, and the land of freedom and drizzle, after a two week incarceration in Vichy and intensive French classes. And intensive France full stop. 

Then for about 8 minutes there was a bit of sun and I saw everything in blue and white and for a second I thought of Greek islands and I could feel the sun on my face and I blinked.

And it was gone.
