The best thing to do in my city is to splash through the puddles on the sidewalk in my designer wellington boots with the cartoon Walrus and Penguin Motifs.
I like to do it at midnight ,if possible, with a head torch on.Fresh rain lasting from two in the afternoon until eight at night results in the best puddles.
I wear an old jacket and jeans which I put in the wash when I get back as sometimes the puddles on the road have oil and grease in them.
I’m being greedy.I want a rechargeable Superpower magic wand.Rechargeable as I have to make a bit of an effort.So I will polish the portable solar panels every day.
However. I will wave my superpower magic wand and it will “fix” everything.
Whatโs a mystery from your own life that youโve never solved?
What is the point in missing someone?You do though.You cannot help yourself.
Their wonderfulness existed and whether you met them or not,whether they were close or admired from afar.
That, for want of a better word ,”wonderfulness”existed in a moment in time and when it leaves this Earthly World or perhaps more fortuitously left the room ,it is gone and many willย miss it.
There is little point in “missing”.”Remembering” yes, “Acknowledging the impact for good they made or perhaps how they were so misunderstood and tirelessly worked the tide in order to achieve something for the greater good.
We learned from them,we were helped by them, and we know in our hearts that their presence made a positive difference. To acknowledge that is surely important, but to miss it is surely a human anathema.
Yes, I’ve been camping and it’s wonderful! I’ve done myriads of different formats, but in reality I need a little bit of luxury to enjoy the outside world with no walls. I couldn’t permanently live in a tent. Being a Berber woman would not be my idea of fun.
I ,though, get an itch when in hotels, I feel surrounded by alien activities never mind alien people. Why is it all so formal? Do the staff like working here. When will they repair the wonky sign on the women’s toilet door near the cocktail bar. How early is early breakfast?
And Air B’B’s, not for me I’m afraid. No me and my dog would not enjoy that prospect.
So camping, or in our case caravanning is the perfect outlet for surrounda-air and nature. Cooker , Fridge, Sofa and a duvet and mattress bed. Natural air conditioning and not too worry some insect life. Roll on next time!
