Not freaking out...

smokingboot... by way of writing myself to sleep.
Today was a weird day. Had a row with Beloved Bear! This unheard of phenomenon happened cos Twinklebrain was supposed to be coming round tonight, and BB wanted to cancel due to us both feeling fluey after the weekend. I didn't want to cancel (more specifically, I didn't want to be the one to make the call) cos we've already cancelled once and I was worried Twinklebrain might feel mucked about. BB and I had a yooooj spat, after which he started to peel the potatoes and I went off to the shop for bits and pieces. I returned to learn that Twinklebrain had phoned to cancel. He's feeling ill!
We both laughed, saluted Fate for giving us the kicking we deserved, and settled down to a cuddly night of pizza and hot toddies.
BB talked about the holiday. He's genuinely interested in returning to Spain, visiting Andalucia and focusing on Seville and my mother's city, Granada. I would love to wander round the Alhambra again, but dread returning to find everything changed, or not so pretty as I recall. Also, it is remarkably close to muchas familias and I really don't know if I could handle it... so many cousins are bearing weapons of gentle reproach for me not attending their weddings. So many aunts and uncles are bearing similar arms for me not attending a wedding of my own.
His other thought was Egypt. Egypt! Land of pharoahs and pyramids, land, also, of poor hotels, hassle and endless baksheesh. Egypt, done to death a long time ago by Smokingboot. BB, however, has never seen it, and it does require being seen. I know I would enjoy it. He talks about hot air balloon rides down the valley of the kings and I am almost convinced by the poetry of the thought. From the ground, however, the valley resemble more ancient building site than burial ground, and I wonder if it really is so glorious from above. We shall give it a good thinking at before we decide.
I must try to sleep. I wish this appointment was in the morning.
