I just read about wasp stings and leeches. It's been too long ago since I did such a thing. More than 1o years. I wonder if my old failing body will be able to take this sort of roughing out.
i only remember the timesin secondary school where we pitched tents in fields, tolerated heavy rainfalls until the tent got flooded and we rushed to the hall to sleep. remembered sleeping on chairs, on tables and in the open air. remembered taking food from the canteen like prisoners using metal plates and spoons. remembered cooking in the open air with solid fuel and tinned food with a shaky hand from an almost-pneumonia flu.
we weren't afraid of anything then...
-------------
work has had some changes. a few other things to do now, on top of what i already am doing.
but my mind still wanders off to backpacking in europe or uk and wanting to see the green cool castles and grass and lakes and all things countryside.
maybe i might be able to do so when i get my bonus at the end of the year...
until then, i shall tame my heart and mind and sit still until the day comes...
