3 more sleeps...

One year ago today...

It was beautiful, I was awestruck, I could barely stand for lack of sleep and I giggled at the squirrel. I had to walk a mile through East London carrying 27 kgs of luggage as my trolley case had broken.

Today it rained as it has for the last 5 weeks, summer is no closer than it was two months ago. I was working and was not awestruck, I have lost my new teacher naivety. I got 3 hours sleep last night and am nearly as tired as I was this time last year and while I did not see a squirrel at all today, just thinking about squirrels makes me giggle. I still have not replaced the trolley case and am contemplating what it will be like to walk a mile in France when I arrive there in 5 weeks.
