Early Wednesday morning ...

I'm lolling in the steam room like a pasha in a hannam - 

I close my eyes, dreaming of iced sherbet and languorous music -

Around me, the hotel awakes -

Early morning swimmers criss cross the pool -  

Break out rooms are prepared for the morning's conferences - 

Boiled sweets are poured into bowls - 

Screens are readied for power points -

Guests arrive for breakfast - 

An Andicar is parked outside reception - 

Meanwhile, Anne is standing in a tiny kitchen - 

My mum is saying oh those carrots, they're always pushed on me -
