The Rosebush

This week… I have been ill with a cold. A bad one.  But I didn’t take any time off sick, even though I wanted to, so this is a victory and I am brave and deserve stickers.

Also in the last week or so… I have learned (and I guess I knew this really) that some people really are just not nice.  Some people have no actual substance to their characters and are genuinely nasty on the inside.  And other people should try to recognise this in others, even if they are not being nasty to *them*.

I have also learned that out of sight is definitely not out of mind.  Josh, I am missing you.

Other things I have learned:

• Leopards do not change their spots.  Despite having new sparkly spots offered to them on a silver platter.  Hm, or maybe that isn’t true. Maybe it’s just the really nasty ones who don’t.  Other, nicer leopards have so far been very good at changing their spots and very nice spots they are too.
• Facebook is evil and addictive and has seeped into the cracks of my life, frozen and expanded and is now taking over my brain.
• When cats have worms, they drag their bottoms across the floor.
• I am glad that some people read my blog and glad that others do not. 
• I am looking forward to going home for my holiday in August, even if this means I am not branded as ‘hardcore traveller’.  I love my friends. I love my family. I love being here and I love travelling but I love going home. I miss home. I am not justifying my decision. I am happy with this
• Jungle trekking may be a good way to spend my few days off in June… what do you think?
• Life in Yangon is not the same without Natalya, Katrina and Nathalie.  It will not be the same without Katy, Steve, Philip, Zack and Nathalie.
