it’s been raining in london again. the pope is catholic, the yankees suck, etc. etc.
there was quite a bit of rain the past few days, though now it’s appeared to have cleared up. i wasn’t expecting rain, since i had become so accustomed to the unseasonably sunny weather. but while others complained, i was just happy for yet another opportunity to indulge my obsession with reflections in puddles and on wet pavement. i’m sure one day pfizer will invent a pill to help people like me, but until then, i’m quite happy to be living in a city with such wet streets.

“What is life? It is the flash of a firefly in the night. It is the breath of a buffalo in the wintertime. It is the little shadow which runs across the grass and loses itself in the sunset.”

You are now
In London, that great sea, whose ebb and flow
At once is deaf and loud, and on the shore
Vomits its wrecks, and still howls on for more.
Yet in its depth what treasures!
– Percy Bysshe Shelley

A beautiful sunset tonight, viewed from The Serpentine in Hyde Park. I’m calling the first photo swanset.

My plans for the night were scuppered by a big pile of work with my name on it. I haven’t been a happy girl tonight. I was even sulking earlier. But then while I was working, I looked up from my computer screen and saw this outside my window:
During the winter in Paris, I used to go outside on rainy days at sunset in the hopes of seeing rose-colored clouds like this. Nearly everyday in January and February, I’d go outside around five in the evening to look at the sky. Paris has spectacular, psychedelic clouds. I developed an obsession with sunsets and clouds and it helped me get through that difficult time. I never watched TV in Paris — I watched the sky.
Tonight is the first time I’ve seen anything similar in London. The high I got from seeing these clouds will last for the rest of the night.

No, I am not done packing. What, are you high? But I am not in the “bad place” anymore, thanks to William. And now I have a ‘to do’ list for Wednesday and Thursday, just like a big girl! See, if someone is willing to hold my hand, I can move to another country without being put into a straitjacket. But it takes a village.
Tonight I indulged in some sunset therapy. I’ve watched so many sunsets here I may soon go blind, but you know, they always do me a world of good. I climbed to the top of the Arc de Triomphe, which I think has the best views.
