Tools of the Trade

Walked into town twice today. The gardeners in our main square had obviously gone for their lunch; they do a great job. One more tool in extras.

Capon, ch13, "Bread to Strengthen Man's Heart", where he sings the praises of eating simply most of the time (but with good quality bread, cheese, butter, coffee) in order to appreciate more the special meals. Here, on lunch:
Once again, it need be nothing more than a crust, a leaf, and a glass of wine. I have long been convinced... that man needs sleep more than food in the middle of the day. A piece of cheese, a bottle of beer, and a twenty-minute nap would solve more of the problems of industry, politics, and the church than all the pretentious... luncheon meetings in the world.


Totally agree about the twenty minute nap. Mike and I, yesterday, had a nap on sun loungers by the pool; it made such a difference to our attention at the AGM afterwards. Pretty sure others had sneaked naps in their hotel rooms as well.
