Here comes the sun OR Not a morning person

My friend Sam is doing a photograph collective for an internal project at her agency. She’s asked people to take a photo of the first things they see in the morning and write down their first thoughts/what they say to their loved ones in the morning. (The idea is that most of us work with the same people every day, but there’s a lot about their lives that we never see!) She’s compiling all the images and lines to project it on the wall at Draft.

So, I said I’d contribute (even though I don’t work there anymore) and even though I’m not a morning person, I’m really happy with how the pics turned out, so here’s a little slice of my (sun)rise:

7AM already: The only thought that goes through my mind is "noooooooooooo, ugh".

It's been so hot, so I've been sleeping under a sheet
and throw the duvet over the bottom of the bed.

Oscar snoozes until I get up.

Summer is fading, the mornings are lighter later.
The sky matches the Mount Nelson.

After my shower, I slip through to the kitchen to make tea.
Normal tea, full cream milk and two sugars. Standard issue.

I'd like to say I wake up every morning and sip my tea on my balcony
while watching the sun rise. But that'd be a lie! It's beautiful though.
Although, if I had the choice, I'd probably still be in bed.

Drain the cup, find my shoes, don't forget my cell phone,
kiss the cat and I'm off for another day.
