Italy and the cities there )

Right now, my roomie is using a fan, and I suspect plans to use it all night. On the plus side, at least I don't have to deal with the full-bore air-conditioning. They don't have that here in the UK in most places.

Someone wrote a 7000 word crossover fic about Atlantis that had not a single mention of Teyla.

Why am I surprised?

Had a good time in Amalfi - the scenery is gorgeous. The people were pretty nice, a much younger crowd of women, but with only about half the time together, it was harder to make connections. We all took each others insta accounts and will follow on that way.

Now in London for a couple of days, thence to Derbyshire.

A quiet humidity, a breeze off the sea. The quiet in the middle of the night. The ripple of the water and the way the currents swirl across the ocean. The distant smudge on the horizon of what must be Sicily. Clouds that hover over the mountains, over the sea.

My tour companions here seems pretty nice. There's a few groupings already formed - several women who already know each other and some groups forming. A very energetic Puerto Rican whose personality bounces the whole group along, and

I ended up in a single room, because my intended room-mate came down with COVID and ended up going home. Which, ugh, it sucks for her, and I'm so lucky to have been able to take those three extra days in HK before joining the Georgia trip, hale and healthy. And I'm so relieved I took the extra time to recover in HK, and feel a lot better now, although still not an unthinking 100%.

Anyway, I have two women from the tour group in the room next to mine, and they're chatty and their voices carry, so I'm a bit jealous in spite of the solo room 'cos I hear them talking! I know, I know, hand in my 'introvert' card. I'm only 60% introvert, though.

Pictures in the next day.

I have eaten ridiculous amounts of food and drunk copious volumes of wine.

And I am very very tired, and in Naples, on the verge of doing it all again for another 5 days...

Okay, naptime. Then a quick tour of the city this evening, then sleeeeep as late as possible before schlepping it to the meeting point for the tour of the next five days...

Cripes. I just realised its only 11:30. I thought it was an hour later...

sleeeeeep

Okay, so the bit where I'm falling down on the holiday is sleep.

Air-con is too much. Bed is too soft. Pillows are too hard. Not warm enough.

AAAAAAAUUUUUUGGGGGHHHHHH

Last night, I woke up at 3:30am and...didn't really manage to get back to sleep until around 6am. And even that was only for about half an hour.

I'm travelling okay, though. COVID has cleared up, although I sometimes feel a bit stupid lately, trying to work out what I'm saying and how to say it, and thinking "I'm sure I used to know how to phrase this".

Anyway, it's nearly 11pm where I am.

Time for sleeeeeeeep.
