Where’s my butler?

Being a national holiday today I didn’t set the alarm this morning. I still woke up around 8 though, realizing how quite it was. (I sleep with my window ajar most of the year.) No cars or busses just the sound of the wind and some light rain. I love the sound of the leaves rustling in the wind during the summer months. So soothing.

Still in a sleepy haze I curled up under my duvet and dozed off dreaming about breakfast. A breakfast consisting of freshly squeezed orange juice, pan au chocolat croissants, a steaming bowl of café au lait, strawberries and melon.

My growling stomach woke me up from this lovely dream a little later and I just had to come to turns with the fact that there was no butler in my kitchen preparing breakfast. Nor did have any croissants or fresh strawberries at home. I just had to settle with vanilla yoghurt, All-Bran and a banana.
