A return of sorts

My computer is in the spare room of my new home. Well, it's hardly 'new' anymore. I moved back in June after all. The time has just flown. But anyway, the reason I mention my computer's location is because it is upstairs by a window looking out from the back of the house, and there's a view. It's not a beautiful view at all. There's a supermarket to the left and a gypsy camp in the distance. But beyond the large, open expanse of common ground I can see the sea, and beyond that, the coast of England. I suppose the Bristol Channel can't really be described as 'the sea', not like the proper ocean you can see when you stand on a cliff in Pembrokeshire. But still, I love being able to see the water. I suppose it's Minehead I can see in the distance. There's a ferry moving slowly down towards Devon.

I have the same view from my bedroom window and I've grown to love it. There's so much to look out at. Far more interesting than a street, and the air is fresher here.

I'm waiting for my man to turn up, although I fear he may not show his face for several hours yet, if at all. He and his housemates have just bought a Wii you see, as if football and beer and mates aren't enough to keep a man from his lady. And what an absurd thing to call a games console anyway! Oh well, I've been told it's fun. We'll see!

But what of me?

I was standing by a cash machine with my friend W on Friday. It was lunchtime and we'd just been for a coffee in a small, cosy coffee shop just around the corner from work. She's having problems with her boyfriend who has some form of depression. She looked tired and worn and I wanted to give her a hug.

'Being an adult is just plain difficult isn't it!' I said, 'I want to be a child agan. It's so much easier not having a care in the world!'

W laughed. 'Yes! All you have to think about is playing and school.'

'And where your next den will be. Or where your pencil case is.'

We had a laugh. We both of us have our worries. I'll talk about that another time though.
