You're probably in need of some exercise after all that food, so how about finding a summit and then climbing up to the top of it?
If you live on a great plain then it'll just be a longer walk or ride, that's all:
Or if you have an ambition then that will have a summit, and perhaps that's in sight. Or perhaps you'll find some way of reaching some summit of pleasure. Ahem. (Though it might just involve ice cream.)
A summit is a meeting of world leaders, but in the natural desire of small men for importance soon every meeting of the smallest town council will probably be called a summit. However, we're not quite there, yet, so it's off to the hills for me to feel the wind in my thick woolly bobble hat and to glory in the magnificent view of the...fog.
Well, it'll be lovely when I'm home again, anyway.
Spot the Frippet: summit. This word comes from the Old French somet, a little som, from the Latin summus, which means highest. It's basically the same word as sum.
