Right so I had spent most of my time since arriving back in England till well I suppose April totally lost as to what I should do with my self. Boom Boom. I just don’t know what to dooo with myself...
I was missing Vancouver, not sure where I stood here and you know angsty, angsty, whiney, whiney. Then by about April those feelings were in some ways subsiding and what happens when you finally feel marginally adjusted? Everything changes. So the mothership phoned from Canada telling me I had one day before I had to board a flight to Vancouver to come and fill out some paperwork. Crazy right?
It was all pretty exciting stuff. A few years ago someone called me a Nomad and I really hated that. I HAD to move around a lot at the end of uni, it wasn’t a choice and I guess that left me a little bitter about that term. Now I realise if I say ‘Beatnik’ I don’t mind so much. I quite like moving around a lot. Not belonging anywhere can sometimes be a step closer to belonging everywhere. And right now I belong in both Vancouver and London. Oh and with the kiddy blinks in Hampshire. Oh and in Wiltshire on the weekend with Seth.
But there you go my Easter Adventure came for me quite suddenly. And most of the fun of it being a surprise for me was I got to surprise other people. I went into work and said hello to everyone and the reaction was pretty ego boosting! Then I went and surprised my brother Lars Bars at his work and his speechlessness was also pretty ego boosting but gotta say the tears and screaming I got from my adopted Croatian family was truly heady! Mumma Jas and sister Mia (for those of you who don’t know me so well Jas and Mia are two people I fell madly in love with last year and have since renamed them as part of my family.)
Mumma Jas just screamed - ‘What the Fuck are you doing here?!’
Fun times – that day also had me discovering ‘The Littlest Hobo’ the most hilarious show you will ever see. It’s set in 1970’s Canada and it’s about a dog that saves the day.
Being back in Vancouver was very weirdly normal. It felt so natural and most of the time just made perfect sense. I would go on long bike rides and meet up with various friends for coffee and dinners - heck I even pulled some shifts at my old job!
I guess in that nomadic – I mean Beat – and also no focus way about me, I don’t really know what I want just yet. I suppose I’ll have to settle for being a little bit lost and have to try and enjoy the adventure!
