Maybe it was knowing that now I'm home my regular routine will kick in - up at sevenish and not the lazy start to the day I (so quickly) got used to in Wales. I have glass to paint, words to write, gardens to tidy, carpets to clean, blogs to read and write, Facebook to trawl, holidays to plan, emails to answer. My goodness I am such a busy bee in my own relaxed way.
Yes, maybe it was that, or maybe it was that I didn't have the Welsh moon with me to ponder on.
The Welsh moon is different to the moon back home you see. He sits above the mountain and glows, his rays entering my bedroom window at the back of the cottage where I refuse curtains. Sometimes one of his moonbeams will creep into the corner of the room, the corner where the door is, and play (ice white) upon the polished dark pine surface, glinting on the dull brass doorknob.
That cold Welsh winter moon; he makes me feel so safe and warm and sleepy, I watch him sing from beneath my layers of duvets, at least ten inches thick and soft. Luna watches him too as she lies upon the covers and sometimes jumps down to the door to catch the white moonlight - making her crackle almost blue in the darkness.
The Welsh moon, he's always with me. All I have to do is think of him and he's there.
I still couldn't sleep though.

ReplyDeleteReally liked to see the moon shot. I've been taking moon picks a lot since October. A mix of crappy but some cool ones with my phone and gotten some decent ones with my SLR. I try to take at least one from wherever we are visiting. I've got Southern California, Hershey Pennsylvania, Hollis New Hampshire and home most of all.

DeleteYes Mitch , I always thought you were a lunatic in the nicest sense of the word.

DeleteFull moon last night too... Too bad it was cloudy. But I caught it early this morning walking the dog.
Lovely moon Andrew

ReplyDeleteWell that doesn't bode well for my retirement Andrew....as a fully paid up member of the Wide Awake at 3:00 AM club I was hoping that retirement would be the cure to this hideously debilitating affliction.

DeleteRetirement does have other advantages Paul. Since leaving behind the treadmill I usually sleep like a log, not at all like the tossing and worrying of the past. But I always sleep better in Wales - I think it is the air - and at the moment I have (horror of horrors) things to sort out. Not vital things you understand (like a review of font lists, how to shave three seconds per ad off of the ad making process, or how to supply digital artwork), but more mundane matters.
