It’s been a wonderful and productive trip. I’ve spent lots of time with family and friends, I’ve gone to a few museums, seen a movie (“Crazy Heart” which was fantastic) and a concert (the incredible South African singing group Ladysmith Black Mambazo), eaten in terrific restaurants, avoided a huge winter storm. But since I’ve been traveling so much over the past several months, I knew I needed this to be a working holiday. And l must admit I’ve accomplished quite a bit:
finished writing a short story
started to think about what I’ll need to do to edit my poetry collection ( a lot!)
kept up with my blogs
kept up with my emails
worked on organizing the CurvingRoad fundraiser
critiqued a friend’s play
Not bad. But although it’s been a fun and productive trip, I’m looking forward to landing back in London tomorrow. I need to be home. I need to settle down again and get back to my (new) regular routine. I suppose I’m very lucky to be able both to love when I travel and love when I go home. So, as I prepare to brave the incredible Boston cold one more time and see Number 2 Son again before I head off, I’m thinking about:
Wow Ms Efficiency!Good job. And great you missed the snowstorm, just saw it on TV.
It’s pretty cold here in Boston #1 as well. And we’re forecast more snow!
Hope you’re having a good time.
What a great trip that sounds. I’m glad you’ve had fun but also that you’re looking forward to coming home too!
S&G I love them. In 2008 I saw Leonard Cohen in concert on the Thursday and then Paul Simon the following Tuesday. What a week. Much of his (Paul’s) lyrics particularly around the Bookends era read like poetry. But so many of his songs like American Dream (Watergate – I find Nixon a fascinating person an enigma)and Duncan, I just love. First love eh? I could go on.
Did you know ‘The Boxer’ was written about Bob Dylan? I have to get old Bob in somewhere! I’m going to listen to some Paul Simon now.
It’s lovely being able to travel but it’s always great to get back home again! Enjoy Boston 🙂
