So Singular in Each Particular

Ian asked yesterday when I was going to Hawaii… I leave on the 2nd of September and return to Sydney on September the 11th… Yikes…
It is all happening so soon… Now that I have the cash in my hot little hand I can start getting a teensy bit excited!!!

Well, will you look at that… some pictures of Hawaii.
Wonder why they are there?
It’s incredible to me that this trip has come up so soon… I haven’t even got time to sit down and get excited about it. My first thought is anxiety – it’s been soo long since I travelled that I’ve fogotten how to be a new person in a new place… the lure of the familiar is stronger these days (except where Africa is concerned…*winks*).
But I’m going to do it anyway… just in case you thought I might be wimping out…

I wrote to Crabman today. A simple note of congratulation marking the completion of the big thing we recorded in May.
It brough the ‘Year from Hell’ full circle. A new sound a new vision for the future, the release of gifts that had been so stifled for so long. As I listen to it (blessed to be one of the 1st of the plebs to have a pre-release copy) I am so happy to hear the door closing on the past and a new future coming in.
Crabman’s reply was simple … “thanks so much bud… a little healing maybe?”
*Niagra Falls*
That’s exactly what it is. A little healing.
I’m so grateful.

I should laugh more… it would ease the tension!!! Instead I put the little white earbuds attached to my Precious in my ears and keep my head down… Safer than getting my block knocked off. Oh yeah, and slip an extra post onto the blog by way of giving myself some head space…
Actually, I really don’t have a whole lot to say this afternoon. Mr Africa touched base of course on Saturday morning, that resulted in a flurry of typing – funny how that happens. It’s a very silly situation and while totally lovely to be the object of interest I am [reasonably] sane enough to know that it really doesn’t have a prayer of going anywhere… I mean, his politics are the extreme opposite of mine, and as if that weren’t enough his expression of faith is the other extreme as well.
…and, oh yeah, he lives on the other side of the planet (!)
So… keep telling me I’m daft if you see that twinkle in my eye, and remind me that it is all just very good fun and not serious in the least.
Honestly, I do feel as if I am very much in the way of having a very good friend over there. We certainly write on the same wavelength, have complimentary interests in other areas and if nothing else our correspondence would make for great publishing. (So if you are a publisher out there and are looking for well written story – one that doesn’t have an ending… slip me an email …)
He is out of town this week, a journalist on assignment elsewhere in Africa. A Very Good Thing so that I can concentrate on other aspects of work.
Like the fact I just landed another contract for a website facelift!!!
Oh Shit… Now I need to reevaluate how I am using my time… I think I need a couple of days off the normal job to get my head together!!!!

Not a bad set of problems to have is it??
