Life Abroad

Oh help, the captain is back tomorrow and, um, I kind of, err, forgot to do any work, just kind of... slipped my mind. Silly old forgetful me. Guests arrive on Tuesday night only, so I still have time to shop for pumpkin seeds and other miscellaneous rabbit fodder. Oh, and also, have you ever had one of those weird moments when you think "woah, how weird is LIFE, it's gonna just end one day and then that's the end of THAT, you're done, it's over, that's IT", does that not scare anyone else and make them want do crazy fun things ALL the time, cos really, we're not actually given that much time and how sad is it to spend it doing something you don't enjoy. And now, this is Buddha that said this: "The trouble is, you think you have time". Yes, that's all. Goodnight. Oh, can I just be a nerd and say this all reminds me of a poem I learnt and loved at school, just parts of it, okay these parts; "Had we but world enough and time, this coyness lady were no crime" (he goes on to say how this coy lady must just sleep with him because life is so short, typical)... "And at my back, I alway hear, time's winged chariot hurrying near" (time's winged chariot, I LOVE that, imagine coming up with a line like that, brilliant). Okay enough, I'm revealing far too much of my inner poetry nerd, she must go to bed
