Mechaieh

My definition of 'Mechaieh', Yiddisch or Hebrew for a wonderful sensation, a blessing, something quite extraordinary for the senses, was to plunge into the Caribbean waters from that little beach at the Caribe Hilton in San Juan, Puerto Rico.  Then it was extended to a pool in Cuernavaca.  Then to Tuscany.......
And now I am sitting with a book under an umbrella in the sun-bathed patio of our flat......listening to a variety of song-birds.  Can't even pay attention to Rudi Serkin playing those endless Diabelli Varieations.............Just delightful.  Waiting for Wendy to return this afternoon from her serial appointments in the hope that the birds will still be there.
