Friends with the sun, wind and sea

Went into the shop seeking flowers, deliberating between
two bunches, one yellow and one pink, when my eye was
caught by a colourful top, finally I went away with two new
tops and a new hat - the other hats did not work, as you
can deduce, the wide-brimmed silvery one (do not mention
the black Mafia one at all)  was too large for my height, found
a straw hat with purple hatband - perfect

Went walk-about by myself after lunch, found a new invisibility
cloak (any large black top that makes one recede into the back-
ground counts for this), a white scarf - tying my new straw hat
with the scarf, looking like Miss Marple on the Orient Express -
also found mosaic tiles in yellow and green for my twin sis,
bought a book on Maps of the World - Piri Reis included -
for myself - what a brilliant find

Went swimming, finally caught those big waves at high tide, re-
newed my acquaintance with the sea at its best when the sea
is my exciting friend, though I pulled in my legs to roll like
a stone, the waves were so strong my legs unrolled in a back-
somersault, my neck in whiplash, my affair with the ocean as
passionate as ever, tomorrow we shall continue our relationship,
the sea and I - being friends with the sun, wind and sea

Makes life so easy - with delight only a heartbeat away
