dearest you,

if you get this via email it's because i've got an email in my inbox from you and a very scary [and ongoing] lack of motivation to write anything, not just anything back, but anything at all - moleskin, blog or otherwise.  i AM sorry but this thing called life has been simply indescribable of late so here i am trying to rectify that but...madonna over yorkshire, whilst perfect listening, is not helping.  perhaps i'll try something a little different

you shall be pleased to know that le sqodge arrived safely and wonderfully [from melbourne via new york] at four something am on the 29th of april [after i'd spent a long evening at shebeen's trivia night with jolly, alex and co] and he n i been having a verrückt adventure ever since as one can only do here in chaos house, kierling:

seeing the sights slash experiencing the mania of maifest im wiener prater; taking a tour at the impressive slash excessive schönbrunn palace and gardens; traipsing the streets of vienna's first district and beyond; munching the langos, various delightful schokolades and yet more savoury and breakfasty treats; paying jackie o style visits (!) to random wiener-apartment and klosterneuburg-house slash wheelchair parties courtesy of carola and gerald, all has been grand.

but i've also found myself continuously feeling like the ground keeps moving under my feet...and there's no safety net.  it's not really as dramatic as all that and i'm certainly not writing to make you worry slash sympathise coz i know, logically and realistically, that there's really nothing to worry about.  but, the uncertainty that everyone keeps telling me they couldn't throw themselves into, yea, well, it's starting to become a leetle irksome.

but, the good news is that mumbo n kevin will be arriving tomorrow evening [from melbourne via milan]  with five glorious italians in tow.  we've got a couple of days here exploring wien n kburg, then the italians are heading back to italy and us australians will be off to kiev via budapest.  so, i probably wont be writing much for the next month.  i'll be trying to find out about job potentials in kiev slash st petersburg and i'll be consuming vast quantities of samogon, only coz the water's contaminated , y'know...

love n luck

xx

Helloo there.

Sorry to hear that things are a little slash slash AHHHHHH slash slash slash HELLLLLLP slash slash slash slash, but we all get those days it's just that if they happen while travelling you get to write a book about it. (Yes I'm watching you Mr Orwell - sea lice... indeed!) Finally got my shit together and blogged it! Yay! So if your all strung out on adventure, if you got those Mobile blues again, if you got the fast lane tremours and your wheels have fallen off and burned, tune in to patrickradhikawillow.blogspot.com and read all about what it would be like if you'd stayed at home and raised a family - Yes we caught your barb on married couple dinners AND noted the posting date. Whitegoods indeed Hah - too bad the home cooked meal was served after twelve, consisted of natchos and was provided by the guests. That will teach you to assume demented puppy dog hospitality from the overly fertile outer east! And while I'm at it how about answering that nice persons letter about who took the cat bum photo. Credit where due I say. News flash - Due to an overly exausting fencing incident at a ShriLanken Philosophy professor's house I am now a primery school chess teacher. wierd things happen I hope you have the bad sense to enjoy them.
Love Pat & Family
