Despite last evenings alarms, I slept like the proverbial top (why "top"? Anyone know?) and was up, lark-like this morning intending to squeeze as much as I could from the rest of my time here. (Yes I am back in my hotel room with my laptop but it is pouring down rain and it was either this or taking my credit card
here). I went down to the sea and sat in a superbly opulent cafe bar and drank coffee looking out at this:
The coffee was heavenly, there was light jazz playing in the background, there was a man raking the pebbles tidy on the beach, I was sitting in an armchair (an armchair!), the sun was shining and the sea was sparkling. All that was needed was A to make me 100% happy in the moment, so I dug out my phone and sent him a text in NZ:
"I love you more than I have words to convey".
An hour later he texted back "Okay. Well, I'm going to sleep now and switching off my phone. Goodnight x"
Ah well. Perhaps it was too soon in our relationship to make such a dramatic declaration...
sigh....thinking of you
ReplyDeleteI *hope* it turns out he was confused about who he was texting and sent a lovely romantic text to a work colleague or something!
ReplyDeleteSometimes we feel a little more passionately than our men...
ReplyDeleteI don't know how I've missed your blog, especially when you're travelling in it!
ReplyDeleteI had to laugh at your man's text. I've travelled a lot for business, and that's exactly the kind of response I'd get from my husband.
men!
ReplyDeleteHave I told you how jealous I am that you are there?
I want to go for a holiday!!
xoxo
there are no words.
ReplyDeletei'm lucky in that Guv has always been vocal about how he feels for me, always took it for granted until i just read that!
~x~
Oh dear, sigh. Gulp. The rest of the picture is perfect though. Hugs. Maybe he would respond more if you texted him: "hey, you, you're not too bad... I think...." ( sigh)
ReplyDeleteAs for you, you are fantastic and wonderful and slathered in superlatives!
I want so much more for you. Maybe thats a bold statement given I don't know you or him IRL, but that's how I feel.
ReplyDeleteI believe you are an amazing, strong, beautiful woman and someone should be telling you that a whole lot more often.
Thinking of you.
At least the scenery and ambiance was perfect!
ReplyDeleteHugs, Em
Men... They just process emotions differently. I am glad you're enjoying such a beautiful place.
ReplyDeleteJust getting caught up...The pictures are beautiful and I am so glad that you are enjoying yourself.
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry about the fire...That is awful. It would make me a nervous wreck too!
