That I'd chosen the more robust custard cream over the digestive to dunk in my coffee, because it's broke. sunk to the bottom and now I've got to go and make a fresh cup,
Right now I wish that I hadn't slipped over in the bathroom two days ago and didnt break a rib which is hurting like f*'@k.
That the schoolmaster in my village had put the children's ages in the school log books (1880 - 1919). I have 2 boxes of cards with children's names on and maybe 10% have birth-years. Added to which I ran out of paper when printing down the 1891 census so I only have 2/3 of the people listed for cross-checking against the school logs.
Better still, that the school had preserved the registers as well as the general logs.
(Local history is at turns fascinating and frustrating).
Is wishing I had a maid. I've been testing the theory about whether looking at a job will get it done and I'm afraid the results aren't looking good.
I wish I was sipping champagne.
I wish right now too be walking,collar turned, along a wet sandy beach in platinum bright moonlight. A strong sea breeze blowing in my face, salt in the air tangy on my lips. The incessant hypnotic roar and rush of the surf breaking as it clambers and claws towards me, towards it's own demise. I want t be alone really alone i want not to be happy nor do I want to be sad. My want is to be self absorbed to be thoughtful without distraction other than the beauty around me, to feel cold but not disconcertingly so. To be cerebral without confusion or distraction, without the miasma of the world crowding in and seducing me. Freedom to live in my imagination to lift my chin to the sky spread my arms and fly into the night soaring on the trade winds and to unshackle myself from the earth and feel freedom.
I wish, I wish right now....that sperm would finally meet egg and we would have one baby. Just one, we're not greedy. I wish that IVF would work and we'd have one embie that would take. One baby. That's all we want. Girl, boy, we really don't care as long as it's healthy.
I wish i had a cure for insomnia :neutral:
Right now someone to hold would be just what the doctor ordered....
