I'm lying in bed listening to the sounds of the radio reverberating up through the floor from the kitchen below, thinking it's 1am and I ought to be sleeping as tomorrow we have a family party, my granmother's birthday and a big family gathering. I'm looking forward to it. I don't see my family a huge amount but they're all very nice, warm and fun people, and I'll get to see several of my cousins, so it'll be enjoyable.
I've been feeling a little unsure the past couple of weeks, in regards to the ongoing search for a job and what the future holds, and whether I should stay in London for the summer or go and spend a few months down in Cornwall, but I realised as I sat on the train to Chichester today, looking at the simple but lovely English landscape, that I can really only be thankful for how things are.
I've been financially stable enough to indulge myself and do my favourite things, it's always good and healthy to have plenty of things to look forward to and I feel spoilt for choice with my current list. I went down to Chichester today to spend a few hours with Celia, which was delightful as ever. We went for a walk down to a copse nearby, where there was a pond full of frogs mating. I'd never seen this before, or known that they frequently end up in a ball of several frogs at once! I was fascinated. Also have decided to spend Easter weekend up in Edinburgh, which is so exciting. Sara's not been to Edinburgh before so it'll be fun introducing her to different places, and seeing Celia's lovely flat, and being in Scotland, etc.
I went to Brighton on Thursday, it was entirely unplanned, just a spontaneous decision after failing to get to what I'd intended to do with the day, I thought, where do I want to be right now? And suddenly was overcome with both the desire to be in solitude and beside the sea. So I went to Victoria, got on the train and as soon as I stepped off it in Brighton I felt so calm and happy. I don't know if it's partly to do with the fact that some of the best days I had last year were spent there, but I'm very fond of Brighton. As such, I am going to be spending my birthday weekend there in a fortnight with Sam, Sara, Suze & James, Maff and hopefully Liz.
Hmmf, I really am not sure about this online journal malarkey. This type of stuff surely belongs in my personal journal. I am very content and steady at present, but there's really only so much you need to publiscise this fact! Still, I thought about what you said, Michelle, and as I walked along the beach on Thursday (for three and a half hours, it was an overcast, damp day so I was covered in drizzle and had aching feet by the end of it, it was great) I 'wrote' it out in my head, describing it all. I'll see if I can extract it from my brain at some point over the next couple of days...
