Riding Clyde across the Cullen hills on Skye. It's snowing, twilight. The mountains are huge, there are no people, no lights of towns. A bird above me somewhere in the gloom, Clyde moving beneath me, the rhythm of hooves, softened by snow. I haven't noticed before how much snow there is. A dog or a wolf howls somewhere, and I remember there is someone I am supposed to be meeting for a reason I know in the dream but can't recall now.
I see someone leaning against a rock, the person is very tall indeed, male.

He tells me there's cannibalism in Birmingham and laughs. I laugh too, but I am worried. What about my friends? And(a dawning fear) if that's what's happening in Birmingham, what's happening in London? He laughs again, tells me the bridge is out, and pulls Clyde's head around, forcing him to face north, Clyde shies a bit. I don't think he knows what to make of the man. He's too big himself to be scared, but he doesn't quite approve.

Northwards is a great sheet of ice, covering from here to the horizon; North-east, the sea opens up. My direction is towards the aurora. The man offers to come and keep me company - he gives me the impression there are others where we are going - but by now, I am sure he is a *dvorak/djurak(? word appears in my head in the dream)and while he has given me good advice which I must take, I don't think his company is sound. He gives a little laugh again, and I realise he is travelling in the same direction anyway in his own fashion. He smiles at me, and takes off first, skating across the ice in great swoops. We cannot go quite that way, Clyde's shoes are no good for it. So we skirt around the plain,though we keep the figure in sight, until we find rough land and piled snow, and then we begin.


*Dvorak=perfectly harmless dead composer. Shome mishtake shurely...



Jilly's tonight. Unlikely I feel, but we shall see...

I wonder how much of all this headachey-ness and tiredness has stemmed from a caffeine free week?

hmmm...don't know. Sometimes I like this stuff, other times it makes me shudder!

Yup, I've had bad experiences with it too, but I found a (well I think so anyway) wonderful, flavoured green tea. Tchae make a lovely Citrus flavour one, which is very refreshing.
