Morning thoughts
This not sleeping thing is getting to be a little irksome. Not at the time, quite frankly I love the night almost as much as I love the sea. Its very calming to see the estate minus hooded strangers smoking.... well, doesn't really matter what. Its still urban here, but I know its only a 15 minute run until I reach the millpond. I'd like to see if the swans are still there.
They vanished when their nest and eggs were washed away quite a few years ago by floods. I think I cried then. I had spent many evenings cycling over there to watch them build there nest together. The female was particularly amusing. Congratulating her mate with everthing he bought her, letting him place the stick - oh! so carefully. Then the moment he had gone for more building material she would move it. She must have known what she was doing for it was a very fine nest. But it was still sweet to watch her kindness and perhapse gratitude for her actions.
Not seen them for a long time, maybe one or both died in the flood. There is always the old folk tale thast where one of a pair goes, the other shortly follows - even death. Ironically, the song that has just come on is "The Children of Lir". if you don't know that, I shall write it up another time. I promised I would get some sleep tonight and my drink is almost finished.
The rain has stopped again and everything smells that little bit fresher.
I havn't been this calm in a long time.
Maybe it will lead to better sleep.

Hello stranger.
I don't know you, and you don't know me (not that strange, I am norwegian), but I just wanted to say that I liked your blog. I guess it was the Katie Melua quote that made me comment, cause I've always loved it!
