Camping out in the English countryside

June 17th, 2008 (05:52 am)

I had a dream this morning that I had rented a cottage in the countryside, but decided to camp out in the garden instead. It was kind of damp, but I managed to get a fire going and cooked some beans. The two women who ran the cottage came out to see how I was doing, and we got to talking.

One of the women had been married for ten years to a guy who favored tweed on the weekends. The other had been living with a woman named Sandy for five years. Even though Sandy wasn't there, I have a pretty good mental picture of her. She has blonde hair and is tall. She has a good face.

I told them my story, and we kept talking until an IM woke me up at 4:50 am.

The IM was from Malida, telling me it was bedtime, and saying goodnight. It made no sense, because it was only 6:50 pm in Thailand. I wanted to go back to sleep and talk with the two women again, but it was too late.

Now I have to go to work.

It sounds right out of the Rosamunde Pilcher cozy novel I am reading, "Winter Solstice."

Oh yeah? Is it a good book? I am always on the lookout for good stories.

Where in the world (I mean, in what time zone) would it be bedtime if Malida is calling from Thailand? Is she dreaming about you in Hawaii or in Italy? What is Malida thinking when she wishes you a good-night when it is not night time in either place?

That's the strange thing--sometimes her IM's get stuck, and arrive hours later. This one was from the night before.
