Erk, or something...

So, I thought it would be a good idea to go from connotations (which was awesome, as usual!) and then jump on a plane the following day and go somewhere warmer for a week. Next time I get this kind of idea, remind me that there are also downsides to this...

1. I have a cold. It kind of started as con throat but developed into coughing-my-lungs-out and now means I will be going back to work unwell tomorrow. Meh. If it had been warmer where I was, then perhaps it would have helped, but the alternating sunshine and torrential rain didn't really work so well for my immune system.

2. At one point, I also fell off the trail I was hiking. Torrential rain + rocks = slipperiness and potential for doom, though I was lucky enough to slip off at the right point and just end up with bruises and scratches from falling through bushes rather than toppling off a cliff or some such.

3. Lack of internet is apparently not as serious a condition as I had thought it was. Hmmm. Also I got stuff written, including the first 1500 words of my pirate AU for au_bingo and watched a bunch of the stuff I got hold of at connotations (though not The Losers so katemonkey leave me alone...). And slept a lot, in the converted farmhouse B&B place where I was the only guest all week.

4. A two and a half hour flight can seem like is an eternity when one of the passengers is a small child who screams continuously.

Now there must be shopping and washing and tidying of the house before the inevitable return to mundanity tomorrow when I discover just how much chaos has been wrought in my absence. Happy times! :P

And everytime he stopped for a split second, I bet you thought.. Oh thank god!
And then he started over, and you got all tense and tried to sink into the chair more, or felt your headache, literally felt it.. crashing into you.
Been there! Know what it's like ;)
