Last night after dinner my husband and I and two friends took our pink boat to the Lakeside Pub for a pint of Sleeman's Honey Brown.
It was a lovely evening after a scorching hot day. The new moon hung over the undulating horizon of the Purcell Mountains that define the western boundary of our valley. The lake was rippled with the reflection of the azure skies.
On our way home across the water, we stopped to drift in the dark on the currents off shore. We then stripped down to nothing and leaped into the refreshing waters of the lake to splash about like playful children.
Today I was not able to locate my sunglasses. They are on the bottom of the lake... because I had them on my head when I jumped into the water last night.
So, here is a photo of my new shades - a wee bit shiny and a wee bit funky.
To go with our fushia boat!
Great story, Dale! Sounds like you had a fun night, and an excuse for some shopping! That's a two-in-one.
