Between us we managed to erect the table and some chairs and the sunshade
The leg of the sunshade went neatly through a hole in the middle of the table.

When the shade was opened it cast a dark area exactly bisecting the table top.
That’s where the sun was. It was positioned to do that.

On the table in the shadow I placed a beer
On the table in the sunlight you placed a cup of tea.

I sat on the darker side of the table
You sat in the sun and you wore sunglasses.

We sat there for half an hour
Then the phone rang and you went to answer it.
