Aloha! Too lazy to do a video, especially because it’s 9:40 pm, got home not too long ago, extra knackered, hair is dirty, no make up, i look approx 45 years old. nay for a vid. but you can get an incredibly beautiful gratuitous photobooth portrait.
But just thought I could share with youz and Tumblr that I bought my ticket for this summer. WOOHOOHOO. :) :) :)
The more I was waiting, the more expensive it was getting, so my boss kindly lent me her credit card and ouch my salary at the end of the month. Bloody Olympics! But i don’t care if I had to eat instant noodles and stop drinking (!) until July I’d do it anyway, luckily I will not have to stop drinking. So it’s going to be good ol’ France first then my one and only love the second week a.k.a LANDAN! So goddam excited. I have already a never ending list of things i want to do. Mostly my favourites things packed in 12 days.
Cycle along the fields for hours, hug my grand mas, hug my grand mas, hug my grand mas, smell fresly cut wheat, lay in the high grass and look at the clouds move slowly and remember when I used to do it aged 8, enjoy the noises and silence of my darling French countryside - especially at sunset/sunrise, be at one with Nature, hug my grand mas, hug my grand mas, hang out in Gay Paree with babes, take photographs from the TGV, touch everyone hands in Montpellier, keep their hands somehow so I never miss them ever again, beach beach beach, cycle to the beach, wish I didnt cycle to the beach on the way back, ice cream wine cherries melons bread and cheese, verres en terrasse verres en terrasse verres en terrasse, des petits restos/gossips avec ma Mellow, late arvos reading au Peyrou, sail with Minouchka, swimming in the pool at Mama’s with the twin, play with the kittens, never leave my mother’s wonderful garden, literally root under a peach tree and that’s it. hike on le Larzac. photograph trees,the sky, roads, people’s hands and people’s backs. cry and wish I had never grown up. whine about Ryan Air but be glad they took me to Blighty ‘on time’. Mind the gap, walk all over North/East/Central/West London. Hyde Park London Fields Hampstead Heath repeat. Breakfast Club for breakfast lunch and dinner. A Snog special for breakfast lunch and dinner. Walk around Soho with a cupcake in one hand a whoopie pie in the other. Shop till I drop - books, shoes, jewelry. Sunbathe on ‘the beach’ close to the Millennium Bridge and forget to breathe. Hang out with all my darling adopted Londoners, repeat. Pack up on Waitrose humous. Tate Modern, Saatchi Gallery, Wallace Collection, British Museum, Welcome Collection. photograph trees, the sky, streets, people’s hands and people’s backs. cry and wish I had never left but know I will be back soon. not sleep.
YAY! I cannot wait! :)
Otherwise, soon 10 months…! Still cannot speak Japanese, I reckon it’s time to get over it, it is probably not going to happen ever. Spring has made it, and summer is on its way which makes me very happy, am a sunshine kinda girl yes. So if we do it English style and talk about the weather it’s been pretty lovely lately, warm evenings and blue skies. BUT today, non-stop rain eurgh. Work is ever so busy but so fun. Trains are ever so packed but useful. Always with my love/hate relationship for Tokyo. Can’t decide what to do next but am for sure going to miss all my darling friends here, so taking my time and randomness will ensue!
Conclusion : am on the other side of the world, but have not changed one bit! I hope you all know and use (abuse!) the french saying En Mai fais ce qu’il te plait! ( In May do as you please ) 9 days left!
I miss you all, be happy alwayssss x
