2004-02-20 - 2.24pm previous entry next entry Hello, I'm here in France!! And I have noooo time to write an update so I don't know why I'm starting one! I guess I am thinking that if I don't write a little bit when I get the chance, I will end up not writing at all and reeeally regretting it. We are having lunch in a few minutes. Thank you Mallory for the lovely guestbook entry (*hugs*) and Vikki and Deborah too! :) Deborah I plan to email you v. soon - don't go into labour till then!!!!! ;) Well I am so glad to be here. I get to be with my parents again and I love that so much. It's so nice because it's always like we have never really been apart, we just pick up where we left off and I can't imagine that it's been a while since I saw them. Not that it's been that long for me! I was only here last month! :) We had a HORRIBLE flight. It was really really good until we came down through the clouds over France, and then yuck yuck yuck, sooooo much turbulence. We kept hitting pockets of air and lurching about, not just up and down but sideways as well. Urgh. I got frantically scared that I would get sick. It was the first time in a while that I didn't bother taking any travel sickness pills beforehand - typical! It was soooo horrible. We even had to fly in over the city instead of over the countryside, which indicated how the weather was worse than normal I guess, since we had to take a different route. I got scared. The plane wouldn't stop lurching and we just never got any lower, just flew round and round bumping about. I said to Neil, "I don't like it, I'm scared." and he held my hand and was a general tower of strength. Surprisingly he didn't feel queasy at all, and he usually gets queasy with motion quite quickly. Anyway I didn't get sick, but boy were my hands shaking till we got off the plane! I felt trapped in that box of steel and couldn't wait to get off. I do not want to add fear of flying to my list, so I am trying to just think of it as a one-off and relax about the flight home. Yuck. Horrid flight. But yay, we're here!!! Mummy and Daddy met us. It's lovely waving at them as we walk over from the plane. I like seeing their little faces at the big window :) It's very windy here. But at least it's sunny and clear today. Sooooo cold though! Paddy is happy to see us. This morning he met me outside my bedroom door when I opened it, and he said a very long sentence in high pitched miaows! He tells me things all the time. Percy used to be the talkative one, and Paddy never uttered a squeak, but now that Percy is gone, Paddy seems to be taking on a lot of things that Percy used to do. He is so playful!! He's like a kitten, and he never used to be like that. He has also lost weight and is looking extremely gorgeous and healthy and fit. Percy was such a piggy that they always got to eat more than they should have. Now Paddy doesn't ask for food as much and so he eats a healthier amount. Ahhh he's so gorgeous! I have been playing with him and cuddling him. I love him to bits! But I really miss Percy still :( Mummy spread manure over the rose bed that he's buried under, and Paddy helped her. He "helps" in the garden a lot! He follows you around more like a little doggie than a cat, and when Mummy put the manure on the rose bed, Paddy immediately got to work adding his own special brand, hehe! Which of course she had to remove later, but not when he was looking, because he was only trying to help. He's so sweet. Neil is upstairs studying. Mummy is laying enormous logs on the fire for later on this afternoon. I don't know what Daddy is doing. And Paddy is asleep. I know this is going to be a lovely holiday, because it will feel like a long relaxing break, it always does - even just on a long weekend, so nine days will be very relaxing! We are going to visit a chateau at some point, because Neil requested it! There are some beautiful chateaux around here. It's my birthday tomorrow!!!! I am getting to choose what we do and what we eat for the day! :) We are having roast dinner, and I have chosen to relax indoors most of the day. If it is a nice day I'd like to take a walk around the vineyards or maybe up to the forest, but otherwise I would like to play a couple of board games, maybe relax and watch a movie with my mummy, because we always used to love doing that together, and sit in front of the fire. Very low key, but that's how I would like it this birthday. Neil says he has ordered something for me that won't be arriving till March (?!) and he says I can have another birthday when it arrives! :) I said, "With cake?" and he said yes, hehe! :) Mummy says he is too soft with me ;) Okay that is all I have time to write as lunch is about to be ready. Please pray for Abby, one of the little girls I mentioned in my last entry. She has gone into liver failure and is in PICU, and I just don't see how she can possibly survive now, without a miracle :( I am so sad, she is the sweetest little girl. I kept waking last night thinking about her. I can't imagine what her parents are going through. She is their only child. Anyway, I will write again soon - hopefully to make a birthday entry - but I hope everyone is okay and having a good day! :) |
