Well, I am beyond the date I had plans for!! "What are you doing after the retreat center?" was the question I got asked over the summer. "My life plans end on Sept 2," was the answer. And here we are, Sept 3!
On Aug 26th, my buddy Jen, who I've known for around 20 years, met me at Waterloo Station and we jumped on the Eurostar to Paris to attend our friend Laura's wedding in Paris. Our hotel room got named "the infirmary" as Jen was swigging back kaolin and morphine following food poisining from her summer travels and an hour after I delivered my wedding speech, i lost my voice and was Ms. Voiceless for the rest of the fabulous celebrations. Amazing fireworks at midnight, a mountain of profiteroles in the shape of the arc de triomphe and blue, blue sky.
Then yesterday was the event that officially closed my summer - my brother and Suze's engagement party in the back garden with about 90 people! The clouds were kind to us and did not drop water and I never want to see a cream cake again!! It was strange to see my brother's primary and high school friends with their broods of little ones.
I've been temping since Weds and my suitcases are all officially unpacked. My feet are itchy. This is the longest period of time I've been home (chez parents) since early 2003!
I feel rested and ready for the next adventure - the next chapter. To where? And with whom??? Time to start planning samz autumn.
Thanks for reading my blog and keeping up with me over my summer trails!
I am totally open to hearing about cool projects/ organisations/ experiences overseas to immerse myself in - especially in the U S of A.
Lots of love to everyone out there !!!!
