I am now writing to you from my new room in Cochin. It is so lovely. I have a TV, mirror, hot water, balcony, wifi (loosely speaking) but best of all, I have a bath. I can’t tell you how excited I am about it. I have been dreaming of soaking in a bath. I’ve not seen a single bath on my travels so when I clapped eyes on this one, it felt like a thing of beauty (ignoring the stains). I squealed like a teenage cheerleader. Poor Cina nearly shat herself as she thought I’d seen something awful. She isn’t quite as easily pleased as me.
The other refreshing change is that my room/stuff is not entirely covered in sand. My last place probably had more sand on the floor than was on the beach. I miss the beach though. More to the point, I miss Puppy. It broke my heart to leave him. I cried like a big girl’s blouse. He’s so adorable that he’ll have people from all over the world eating out of his hand. I’m sure he’ll be just fine. I, on the other hand, might need a few more days.
It felt good to finally leave Varkala. It has been amazing and exactly what I needed but any longer and I think my brain would have turned to mush. Also I think it might be good for me to stay out of the sun for a while after fatty said I look like Rylan!! He might have a point. I think it’s fair to say I am sporting somewhat of a mahogany hue.
It’s so nice to finally get to wash my clothes. Everything of mine stinks and some of it is actually mouldy. I’m spending the day washing and cleaning. Sadly it feels great to be doing such normal chores. I was getting concerned that I would never be able to do a days work again. I have literally done nothing for weeks. I may need to amend these details on my CV when I come to find a job. I’m not sure saying I left a good job to sit on a beach for a month is going to be hugely appealing to future employers.
I have no idea what the plan is for the next few days but I’m happy to just mince about for a while. All the time that Cina is here I’m happy. Things are just so much easier when you have someone to kick about with. Cina is also great at small talk and bartering. I am painfully shit at both of those things so I just leave all that to Cina. It’s heaven for me (god, I’m miserable). She’ll be heading off for Goa soon but then I’ll only have a few days to kill before Fish gets here. I reckon I could lose a whole day just soaking in the bath.
It feels good to be able to finally see an end in sight. I’m going to enjoy the next 3 weeks and I’m definitely going to make the most of it, but boy, do I want to come home. Wonderful, beautiful Clarkey is coming to meet me at the airport and has said that I can write a list of things that I want for my first night back (I know, right. If Carlsberg made friends. Or was it Carling? I can’t remember now). So far the list consists of wine and cheese (I’m so very sophisticated). Dorothy was right, there really is no place like home.

Mate you need to spice up the blog...... You can't go to India and talk about a bath, a dog and being restless. I want to read....... Kate, wonders around with the crazy people from India, ends up in a fight, end up in a police cage, is about to get beheaded and the British Government saves the Breed! Hx
ReplyDelete.......and I hope you are staying out there to celebrate Diwali - (Breed Style if you like) Hx
