Winter Has Arrived

It's been a few really cold days in England. Frosty mornings and some snow is actually resting on cars and bushes. Linda has been here, and we've had some lovely days. Watched my first rugby game live in Bath and suffered from frozen feet after that. And I got a killer cold coughing my lungs out, but hey, it's winter. Decided not to cycle to work, but will take the bus for another week of night shifts.

Linda commented on my layed back life style, consisting of occasional work and lots of tea drinking at coffee shops. What can I say, I enjoy my moments of rest... :)
Today is rich hot chocolate time at Rubicon Cafe/Chocolatier.

A recent subject circulating among people I know have been restlessness. For me as well, I can feel myself starting to get restless feet. It might be that I'm in a state where I'm getting fed up with work, but then at the same time I'm not sure time has come to move on. I've not even been here a year. I just notice that I start dreaming away, start looking for other options... maybe a dream is taking form. Sometimes I doubt I will ever settle down. I'm never satisfied and I dread the dullness of a life of routine. I want to live near fear, cause only then do I know comfort, I want to live facing death so that I know to appreciate life, and I want to live in the storm i order to know true peace. My cousin told me to live much, and I want to know what it is like to be fully alive.

But whatever I do, I would never want to head off alone. I need my companion and friend to go with me, or I'd be lost. So, until I feel time has come, I will stay in these tracks.

All Love

No Internet

I know I haven't been very good at updating my blog, and I blame lack of internet over the last month. My sister Rut was here visiting and it was super sweet. Spa, theatre, sister-talk under the duvet... I really missed her when she left.

Otherwise, for me, I am doing well. It feels like there are a few turns on the road at the moment, and like being on a rollercoster, I feel both excited and a bit nervous about what's ahead. It's getting to the end of November, I can't believe how fast time is going. My friend Linda is coming over to visit in a few days' time, then there is the Christmas party with work on the 2nd. And December 8th I will be on a plane back to Sweden, and I will be home for about 10 days. Looking forward to some catching up, frosty nights and saffron buns. I still haven't decided what to do over Christmas. I have a few options to ponder...

At the very moment I'm at work, doing a night shift. Can't wait til the morning when I can cycle home and cuddle up under my duvet.

All Love
