The early morning air was warm and humid

And although I had switched the on the fan

It was still very sticky in our hotel room

I was quite naked as I made the coffee

My wife who was equally naked

Lay on the sheets sound asleep

I asked her whether she would like coffee

She mumbled something which I took to be a yes

So a few minutes later I placed a mug of coffee

On her bedside table with a couple of mint biscuits

We did not say anything of note but just enjoyed

Listening to the city wake up

After a its short summer sleep
