Happy Birthday evilwillow!

Here's to a wonderful day for you:-)

My favourite element

Most say I'm water and one or two say I'm fire; No-one says I'm earth, personally I think I'm air.

After a weekend of much pleasure but also much knackerment, we retreated to bed absolutely exhausted, not least because poor larians has returned from Switzerland with both a tum lurgy and terrible asthma, and has been suffering very badly.

In a much lesser way I suffered somewhat too, because I got no sleep last week, and the constant hoicking/snuffling/coughing was truly and totally robbing me of any chance of it over the weekend. A new job on Tuesday and instead of enthusiasm, I have been dreading it for no real reason apart from nerves and lack of kip. Last night, my dear larians left me to our bedroom. I didn't suggest it, he was just gallant and empathic. Even the cats were not allowed in. Much as I love cuddling up with lover and cats, how nice it was to have my legs free rather than shaping myself round immoveable objects occupying various territories of the bed, how nice it was to have the windows wide open, rather than just a crack so that the kitties can't launch themselves at passing bats, and how quiet it was!

Best of all was the air filling the room, cool and fresh, moving all the time. I felt wonderful and alive. And I slept like I haven't done in weeks.

Today, I begin to feel better:-)
