A friend of mine is currently swanning around Bali - Ubud, to be precise. She's swimming and writing and eating wonderful Balinese food and looking after herself and I am very, very envious.
She deserves the break. She's making big adjustments to her life. Two weeks in Bali sounds like a great circuit breaker.
Ah, Bali - warm, calming, lush Bali - well the bit I go to is anyway.
Then I think that I'm probably not going to see a holiday for a good few months. Sure, I have a writer's retreat and a weekend in Sydney to see a play to look forward to, but no holiday to go on.
Currently Jonella is in Morocco and Norty has gone to Japan. Blarney and Barney take off for Tokyo in a few weeks. My current manager is heading over to Tassie for a few days.
I want something to look forward to.
Maybe that something might be a housesitting a garret room somewhere in Paris - around the Marais would be good, maybe Montmartre - or Belleville. Go discover more of Paris. There is so much to find in that city.
Or maybe tackle a bit of the Camino - go for a long walk along the top of Spain - but that would take a bit of training.
Or even get a holiday house for a few days and go away and write. Somewhere close by which has a wood fire and I could take the cat with me. He likes a holiday.
Or go for a drive through America and visit Reindert in Colorado.
Sometimes she dreams of distant places.
Darwin, unfortunately, is not far enough.
