Everyone's gone home from the party. My wife's sat inside feeding our 1 week old daughter, while watching American X-Factor.

After putting my 2 1/2 year old to bed I'm sat in the garden on my own with a big glass of wine 'supervising' the last of the bonfire as it burns to embers. Not sure when I'll decide to go back in.......

1. When the wine runs out.
2. When your bum gets cold.
3. When you get a bit chilly.
4. When you need a wee, unless you can wee in the grid.

tranquility?.. it's called "cycling". or just being in the middle of nowhere and being there and feeling a sense of humility at the wonder of the world. or burn it down.

1. Still got 1/2 a bottle left
2/3. I'll just move closer to the fire
4. Big garden that has a blind spot behind my shed 😉

5. When my phone goes 'beep' low battery, pop inside for the charger and run the extension cable out to my garden chair 🙂

You not got any emergency firewood knocking about for moments like these, then?

fenred - wine, curry, ride sounds great
(Interlude - big sigh for relief and inner relaxing as the distant house alarm gets cancelled)
I'm sitting staring into my (phone??) the embers imagining rides. Been ride free for 3 weeks due to the pregnancy but because I'm so lovely I've been given the green light for the Coed-y-Brenin gravity enduro 🙂

OP, you forgot the first step towards tranquillity: turning off your mobile device.

No, the mobile device is nice. It's like having like minded friends around the fire who won't drink my wine/beer.

Epsom downs for sunset and a Pink Floyd soundtrack.
