Lovely stuff!
Reminded me of cricket, or rather standing way out by the boundary on a summer day in a village game (was that church bells?). You know you've got to stay alert and concentrate on the game because if you don't the ball will surely come your way and people will tut, but the sun is hot; there's a slight, occasional breeze; sounds (odd ones, like bird cheeps and far-off conversation) begin to lose focus and drift together; the lunchtime beer and long cigarrette are gently swaying your senses; the 'plod...plod...tock' of willow on leather; etc!
And unlike the myth, the ball never does come your way. You spend the afternoon standing in two places on a field. Exciting game cricket
Your tune was like the drifting-off moments (not the dull part of cricket)
