Sometimes, all you can do is pack your bags and head for the sunshine. After seven fun filled days and nights of noisy fans and damp, dusty air blowing through the house, me and my bronchitis had had enough. Wednesday I booked a flight to Mexico and Sunday we headed for the Yucatan. What bliss! The roaring sound was not that of dehumidifyers and industrial driers, but of ocean swells and Caribbean breezes. Instead of having workmen appearing and disappearing at odd times, it was iguanas showing up in my path. I love iguanas.
We snorkeled — is it me or is that reef not in good shape?? Very worrying — and toured Mayan ruins and hung out in the sunshine. Best of all I came home to quiet. The driers are off. Happy day! Even my cough is mostly gone.
I need quiet to work. I am not one of those people who choose music to write to, or can shut out distractions, so it’s really good to have the quiet back. At least for now!
