My new house, the neighbor’s cat and wishing you were here…

Saturday I moved into my house, my own house.
No.2 Drum Avenue, Glastonbury.

My own house … with tenancy papers. The electricity, gas and water connections in my name. Yeah, I am feeling pretty self important at the moment!

Did shopping to set my place up. It’s a furnished house, so really don’t need to/have to do much. But I bought cream bed sheets, a gray quilt and black towels. Yeah, black Turkish towels… neat and chic.

I made friends with the neighbor’s cat. It’s got a coat of uneven black and white, and it just waddled over the gravel strip which separates the neighbor’s front yard from mine. It isn’t a fat cat, what’s the word…yeah…its "tubby", you know what I mean?

I cooked my first meal in the house, mixed vegetables, rice and an omelet.

And now, after washing the dishes, latching the front door and flicking off the lights. I am in my room, listening to "Wish you were here". Watching the candle burn on the ledge, the flame flicker and the crazy shadow dance...

Yeah I am thinking of you, the girl who makes me feel like a schoolboy. A schoolboy in love for all heaven and hell. All the dreams and none of the fears.

How I Wish you were here…

This is good. Which part of UK? I'm getting my visas in order myself. Maybe I shall travel soon. Very nice to read all this.

Somerset. The South West. About 2.5 hours down from London.

Planning a visit between now and September?

Please make it by September...we can hit the road together then!!!!

Cheers!

But my trip would be to Amreeka, and would be entirely work-related :-(

Suggest you take a trip down south sometime. South India I meant, where I live.

Hi Parna.

Thanks for dropping in.
Yeah Calcutta+Floyd, quite a favourite (Sounds like an interesting name for a Cocktail :-) )!

Cheers!

words of wisdom

If you're going to try, go all the way. Otherwise don't even start. This could mean losing girlfriends, wives, relatives, jobs. And maybe your mind. It could mean not eating for three or four days. It could mean freezing on a park bench. It could mean jail. It could mean derision. It could mean mockery, isolation. Isolation is the gift. All the others are a test of your endurance.
