Took a moment out on the terrace this morning. The leaves on the trees have finally burst out, reflecting that winter has finally released its grip and summer has now embraced the city.

I'm looking forward to having friends over for an al fresco meal, breaking bread and enjoying a special beverage.

It wasn't long ago that we were in the grips of the Covid scourge. Thankfully, it's our second summer without it, and now I feel like we can finally relax. 

And the vision of a summer evening on the terrace, sharing good times with friends, seems wonderful. 

Being together with people we care about is a fundamental desire of human society. 

Witold Rybczynski, in his fabulous book A Short History of an Idea, Home, noted that "domestic well-being is a fundamental human need that is deep-rooted in us." It's about connection and validation that our ideas and what matters to us matter to others too.

It’s about connecting with people who care about things we care about. Spending time with friends and family on our balcony or terrace allows us to tell stories, sing a song, laugh out loud, explore new perspectives, share ideas, and... food. I’m sure grateful that we can finally "Roll out those lazy, hazy, crazy days of summer. Those days of soda and pretzels and beer".
