Sometimes, I'm caught on the wrong foot, I speak too soon. Just a couple of days ago, I was complaining about the boring rain, and the dullness and non activity of the rest of the rainmakers, aka lightning and thunder.
Well, guess what, no lightning and thunder, but the winds have been a thrashing about since we got back late evening. Storm Darragh hitting in the early hours of Saturday, around 3:00 am.
We had gone to LHR drop off B, who is headed to Bombay. He called from the Virgin lounge, muting on Hot scones, with clotted cream and jam. I was so envious. Stooped on the way back at to pick up groceries and stuff to bring back. Tesco and Waitrose, are both across the street from each other. Had been craving a sandwich for the past several days. Finally succumbed and bought two at Waitrose. Just delicious. Had forgotten the taste of white sandwich bread. Cannot remember when I last ate it. Has been Granary and sourdough here. And Trader Joe's sourdough stateside.
So, dear blog, my fellow adventurer, was thinking about the whole name thing on the way home. Decided, nah, not going to happen. I'm okay with the added easy familiarity of addressing you by name. It will place too many demands on my time, and I couldn't keep top the social pressure of keeping up appearances, or rather asking an appearance- aka showing up regularly to maintain our relationship. can only do so much socializing. Knowing me I'm sure you understand. we're buddies anyway, you and I both fellow travelers- you come with me and experience my adventures with me, even though in the drafts sometimes.
Wind now thrashing about outside, even more violently. showing its brute force with overbearing aggression.
Yes, I remember, we were going to chat about TXL, but please forgive me. So tired and eyers closing. May we continue tomorrow? So tired and sleepy. Eyes closing, and dozing off. Please forgive me, Blog. It's goodnight for now.
Straddling midnight again! Could have written sooner but was watching a Christmas movie. Only sweet slumber on my mind.
