Updates...

[matilda36]

I know I have been lacking on the update front, but first of all, nothing really happened if not inside, and secondly I am not really sure about what happened inside yet, so I don't want you to get as confused as I am.

I do have to say that I enjoyed myself most of the time. Monday and tuesday last week I went out to the street market and the farmer's market, where I got some great oven baked ricotta.

On thursday I missed my doctor's appointment because of the rain, Friday I went back to the bedlam of my hometown, Saturday I went to my cousin's 40th Birthday. We grew up together and the food (game and mushroom) was good, so all in all a good evening.

Yesterday we went for a nature walk and this cheered up my premenstrual self to no end, like it did my going to the weekly market with my friend trapla this morning.

What else? I am starting to get itchy feet about my next destination. I am really like Odysseus in this way. More than 3 years in a place and I get restless. I lasted here only because my health was bad, but now that I am feeling better the desire to explore is starting to complain loudly. One thing I know: this time I am moving closer to nature. I never feel as alive as when I am away from civilisation.

Has anybody any suggestion for a job/place in the countryside served by broadband? Any Country would do...

What tickles your fancy? You must have some kind of leaning...

Canada or New Zealand...(*grins* see a pattern here...)

Oh so pretty! I'm dying to visit New Zealand but that won't happen any time soon.

I've been to Canada twice and I loved it. I'd vote for Canada :)

I think I'd go to the West Coast, Vancouver in Canada if I were you (I live there) because it's very civilized and beautiful and laid back... plus I'm not sure you'd love the winters elsewhere. Montreal is lovely, but muggy in the summer and cold and horrible in the winter.

I am very divided.

I think that I'll end up applying for Visas in both Countries and see what happens...

[moonshayde.livejournal.com]

Not a bad way to go :)

[matilda36.livejournal.com]

Thanks for the advice.

I was actually seriously considering the West Coast already. I read that just above Vancouver there are quite a few coastal villages that I found inspiring...is it true?

*grins*

well, last time I tried a similar experiment I ended up with a degree, a job and 7 great years in London...

LOL

Nothing wrong with trying them both out. It just gives you more opportunities. That way if one doesn't pan out, you have a chance with the other. It also means more job opportunities and school opportunities. What have you.

Yeah, that's what I was thinking too...

and after having seen the Italian Election results I need to get away asap...

[jans-intentions.livejournal.com]

Yes, there are all kinds of places you could go. Plus, you'd get to visit with me in Vancouver when you wanted to be in the city. BC is one of the most beautiful places on earth. ^_^

I love the, yes something happened, but don't ask me to explain it, because I don't understand it myself epiphanies. *hugs* Hope it was a good one.

Don't know what to tell you about countries, just that I wish you luck. :) A change of scenery sounds nice. I know I want one.

Glad you had fun at your cousin's birthday party. And a nature walk sounds very nice.

Hope you have a wonderful week.

*snugglehug* Well, where ever you decide to go and where ever you end up, I hope you are happy, because you deserve some happiness, hun.

Thank you honey :)

*snickers* I actually tried to explain it 3 times, but everything ended in the bin because...I couldn't make any sense out of what I had written. So I decided to wait until I stop being premenstrual and ended up going boring factual...

But changes of scenery are definitely needed and good for the soul. This I do know.

Woah,

I'd love to visit you in Vancouver. You make me dream...and reach for the Visa application form.

I have had it saved for months on my hard drive. I was very impressed with the quality of the information and the forms on the Canadian government website. It makes you feel wanted and makes BC look like a place where a person can live well...
