Evening Bliss

It was one of those unexpected, perfect little evenings: getting off duty early, heading out on a whim, attending a free film screening cum faux-intellectual discussion, and proceeding (again, on a whim) with the organisers for drinks. The hours were touched with lightness: the air was sedate; the dressing casual, the company somewhere in that feel-good zone between acquaintances and friends. Many fond memories were evoked, and the night ended just before inertia set in. It’s been a while since I’ve felt this relaxed and happy...and a while since I had a beer, too. It’s a nice place to be.
