where it all began

I met Rene a few years back while looking for a property to rent , life had me busy on a path and such as life is ,it constantly changes sometimes for good sometimes less so.

So there I found myself away from familiarity in a new environment I had made new friends however there was something missing.

After work I came home to a table set for more than one , although it made my place homely and if I say so myself even the food wasn't bad , and then I had Fridays to look forward to.

What is so special about a Friday , you may ask .Well my friends that is where I transported myself into a different world.No no I am not talking about drugs , well , perhaps it is in a way but it was definitely not a banned substance.I am referring to Friday as in that is when the weekend started and I would jump into my chariot and head down the freeway all the way to the sea, or rather the next best thing when on finds oneself landlocked.

Yip , before I get too happy posting pictures.As I often do ,get swayed from the topic, let me get back on point , you see this was was all good and well but something(someone) was missing , but where ,how ?

Remember that thing about life and how things happen good and sometimes not so?

Back at home in the course of a regular week and having fed myself and not finding much to watch on tv (may I say I dont watch tv ) , I had one but enjoyed movies , that's what the tv was for , movies and music DVDs. From time to time one misses company , not that I was bored , I don't actually know what that means. Enter technology and apps - heard of Whatsapp ?

Of course you have , while scrolling through contacts a profile picture catches my attention .

To be perfectly honest it was not this exact picture but it may as well have been.

My reaction to the image is the same , the POV was different from the norm , as in this picture , kindly provided by Shutterstock(thanks) is the thing that struck me and also it was the only boat pic on any ones profile .

This begged a response.

I knew the name but had not spoken in quite a while , so I messaged her.

Best thing that I did.

I found happiness , I found that pair of legs next to mine in the sand .

Thanks to pixels and tech.
