Alpina's blog post - How did we Feel?

How did we feel afterwards? Beatrix and I, still gently smarting from Aldo's massive invasion, had a swim in the pool, laughed madly now and then without reason and splashed water into each others faces. In the evening we had a barbecue outside and a close to midnight swim with all the family and friends. Once in the evening Beatrix boxed my upper arm, maybe harder than she had intended to because you can still see the bruise.

How do I feel? Nice, I would say, it was a very pleasant experience. Nice, you may chide me when you are a love-regulated person who thinks this is outrageous behaviour. Just nice, you may ask incredulously when this would be the sexual experience of your life (and there are people like this, I know). Yes, nice, like a nice meal shared with good friends - I still believe this is true, in spite of all. Why don't I do it more often then if it is just like a meal? When I come to think of it: I didn't have meals with other people so often lately, either.
