Me: Some days all you can do is gaze in wonder.
Nell: Here we go.
Me: The world is such a beautiful place.
Nell: Yes, it certainly is.
Me: And we are so lucky to live where we do.
Nell: We are.
Me: We should stop and appreciate it more often.
Nell: We should.
Me: That’s why I love this photo.
Nell: I see.
Me: You dogs and Kev simply taking a moment to appreciate the beauty all around you.
Nell: We’re actually thinking about the annoying no dogs allowed on the big beach rule and wondering if we might walk through anyway.
Me: Oh, well that makes this photo feel quite different.
Nell: Yes, it does.
Me: More like gazing at something you cannot have.
Nell: Quite.
Me: So near and yet so far.
Nell: Absolutely.
Me: I prefer my gazing in wonder explanation.
Nell: So do I. It’s Sunday after all. A day of giving thanks.
Me: Yes.
Nell: David is gazing in wonder at a pile of bacon sandwiches.
Me: Hasn’t he had breakfast yet?
Nell: Only his first breakfast. A small bowl of cereal to get him through to second breakfast.
Me: Why does Dave have two breakfasts on Sundays?
Nell: What do you mean? We all have two breakfasts on Sundays.
Me: I don’t.
Nell: Yes, you do.
Me: I just have my morning cereal as usual.
Nell: What about the bacon sandwich you always enjoy after Sunday Songs?
Me: That’s elevenses.
Nell: Is that what you call it?
Me: Yes.
Nell: So, it’s all a matter of interpretation then isn’t it?
Me: I suppose it is.
Nell: Except we both know that you have two breakfasts on Sunday and elevenses is never more than a biscuit and a cup of tea.
Me: Yes. Sorry.
