IF WE WERE HAVING COFFEE I WOULD TELL YOU.
I am so tired that it hurts and I wish I was still in Tuscany. It did not take me long to slip back into the norm. Washing, ironing the every day things that eat into our souls. Tell me do you feel that worn down so quickly?
The flight home on Friday night was okay but it was late, the approach to Gatwick was incredibly painful I thought m ears would burst. I wanted to scream out but pride kept my mouth tight shut. I watched the lights of the south coast appear. I thought my head would split then I saw Brighton and it’s pier all lit up like fairy land . I knew then relief was not too far away.
I am amazed at how the Newbie has grown he is so beautiful, he has found his smile button! I am longing to see him and hold him.
That I cannot believe how different my life here is to how it was on holiday … do you think life would be as relaxed, as it felt when I was on holiday, if I lived there all the time. I saw the lives of our hosts the ease with which they moved through their days … why do their lives look so uncomplicated?
I went to the gym this morning and I worked out for over an hour then I went home and after coffee I ironed for nearly three hours. In fact I only stopped because my foot balled up with cramp and became a claw. I was in agony for three quarters of an hour and I had to call my husband in from gardening to help me . He massaged my foot for ten minutes all to no avail. In the end he bought up a bowl of warm water and I just tried to relax my foot. By then my foot no longer resembled a foot, my toes were all scrunched up and my big toe was stuck out at an odd angle it looked like a weird claw. Pain? it was awful.
I have often felt so trapped just like the woman in this video, in fact I even looked like a scared rabbit , like her too!

Coffee Break (Acrostic Poem)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Caffeine needed now
Open wound pow!
Feelings raw and strong
Faith and understanding gone.
Echoes of my youth
Etched in blood the truth.
Broken and cracked
Ruined for care, a lack
Ever thirsting to be free
Aiding lack luster eyes to see
Kindred spirits reaching out to me.
