I have been working fairly solidly today, which is satisfying. I also had a tuna mayonaise sandwich for lunch, which must surely count as satisfying too.
Actually, I lie about working solidly. There was about fifteen minutes when my computer decided to play Danilo Montero, a Latin American worship leader, and also Alborada, a hugely 'gringo-ised' 'traditional Inca' band, both of which brought back very fond memories of my Peruvian summer, and caused me to spend some time gazing at the sky out my window before I realised I was doing very little of use, and sort of woke up. If you've ever been somewhere which has really marked you, you'll know that afterwards you find yourself with the complete certainty that you will do everything you can to go there again some time, whether for a short time or for longer. I'm not sure I know anyone who has been to South America who doesn't think that. Unfortunately, it all costs money and time and so on, but it is something of a compulsion.
It's a curious thing that I am madly in love with travelling to places, even if they are in Britain, but a few years ago I would have said the complete opposite. Maybe that's what going to uni does to you. I love Exeter because there's always a random bit of it still to discover...
Anyway, enough analysing, I must get on with making dinner. I'll just leave you with an urge to log on to www.xpressionfm.com tomorrow and click on the webcast between 2 and 4 to hear me being Tim's minion on his show. I guarantee you much hilarity (and me much embarresment) as I try and work out what song is being played.
The picture, of sunset of Florencia de Mora, was not taken by me, but I am sure whoever took it (possibly Steve) won't mind me using it
