a sense of flow

today started weirdly with my kitten , harvey attaching himself to my foot by his teeth. i suppose its not that weird as he seems to be finding a few things to swing from . the snow is so thick and unbelievable , i am astonished! never have i experienced something like it ! we walked up to the waterfall yesterday and it was like a ski slope but the view, incredible out to badachro and the isle of skye. thailand has flowed from my veins and i am once again at equilibrium with where i live. the year is bringing a few suprises already and i know that this year is going to be a year of endings .i am sad in many ways but also anticipating some change and the excitement that comes with the unknown . when travelling through thailand i realized how tame i have become and how much fear i have developed - my adventurous soul needs to be released. i need new beginnings and to step out of this comfort zone , once and for all .so .......................here goes

i woke to a snow filled landscape

this is my first posting and today its snowing , a bit of a ' shock ' after being in thailand for a month . but hey, im brown and looks pretty brown against the landscape. yes, im in scotland in the hills and its supposed to nearly be spring ........ thailand was great and warm , the temples amazing , the diving even better and the food sublime. Bangkok was so humid and so stifling but incredibly energetic and surreal at times. i loved it and will definately move to the top of the list of insane cities i have visited . And there have been a few .............mmmmm Cairo (incredible), Bombay ( oh my god!) Istanbul , athens ,New orleans , CApe town ( my lovely home town) , Kansas city ( we dont talk about this one ) jerusalem ( the holiest city in the world ? a bit of a party town ) Tel aviv ( a bit scary ) Amsterdam ( cant remember ) Prague ( like a fairytale) ,London ( well , just a short flight away) and a few others and still a long list of places to get lost in and the food ..........................i love cooking anything exotic . and creating drinks that usuallly leave my friends slightly worse for wear. well , you gotta experiment on somebody !!!! well, anyway , a cold day , will make some sahlab( a fab egyptian drinkto soothe shattered souls) and contemplate the spring and the flowering of bluebells and primroses .
