il primo giorno

since the 24th of the november there’s been very little writing, but very much craziness.

projects, fractured feet, falling down stairs, work, celebrations, christmas, birthdays and many other things; all eclipsed by the arrival of the girl in the 7th december.

there had been plans a foot to finally get what we wanted - a place together - and there were visas and tickets bought, jobs resigned from, houses packed up and many more organisational things all in the name of the great uk assault of 2008.

so it’s pretty sad to say that after a month together here in australia we worked out together that despite our years of love and effort, we’d missed the boat by the briefest of moments, and that in the end we’d no other option but to throw plans to the wind and start seperate lives anew for 2008, apart and on other sides of the world yet again.

mik and i have had a great time this month, and it was a very sad thing to put her on a plane home last night. the flight departed at 11:59pm, monday 31st december, 2007 so that by the time the count down ended we could both greet the new year afresh.

she’s currently sitting in an airport in bangkok awaiting connecting flights, the poor thing, whilst i’m lucky enough to be sitting on the lovesmith’s carpet drinking a nice soothing coffee.

tomorrow a new chapter begins, but for today i’m happy to chill out in limbo.

baci tesoro; ti voglio bene bene bene e bene mezzo. in bocca il lupo, e ci parliamo presto.
