Loosing My Religion

I am flying home on BA via Boston today. I took a connecting flight to save £100. Its done now but I wish I hadn't. I can't check in on line as I keep being redirected to the AA website as part of the journey is operated by them. Very annoying. Also I realised that I have to change terminal at Boston by waiting for a bus and its -3 degrees up there. I don't like the idea of having to collect my suitcase and re check in, I am afraid of long lines and being late. It will probably be fine, I mean millions of people do this everyday successfully, why not me?  Next time I am just sticking to direct flights I like the simplicity.

A Poets Perspective



There is a pleasure in the pathless woods;
There is a rapture on the lonely shore;
There is society, where none intrudes,
By the deep sea, and music in its roars:
I love not man the less, but Nature more...

Flowers Of Romance

Things I will miss about Miami

  • The sun
  • The sea
  • North Point
  • South Point
  • The Mustard Seed AA Group
  • Stray cat and the other stray cats
  • Richard
  • The crazy launderette
  • Ice Box German Chocolate Cake
Richard told me to leave my clothes here since I only brought summer clothes and I won't be needing them in London till June and I intend to return in April.

I See You Baby

I spotted a little Eleggua symbol stuck on a lamp post in Coral Gables this afternoon. Although many Cubans practice Santeria & Yoruba there is not much evidence of it on the whole. I don't know much about it but I spotted this spirit from across the street.

Dance With Me


Tangled Up In Blue

I love the North part of Miami Beach, its really wild and unfederated up there. The stretch of sand is really quite narrow and there are no organised sun bed vendors or hotel umbrella's. The people I see there more like me. Quite people, sitting on the rocks staring at the waves, women sunbathing alone, maybe some doing yoga, trying to meditate - well they may actually be very good at it, I try to meditate because I am a spaghetti head.

Lunch

I had another Swiss Cheese & Salad croissant for lunch today on the beach. I love them. I weigh 122 pounds. I don't eat much here its easy to loose a few pounds. I think the best diet for me is to have one thing for lunch or dinner that I really like and just soup and fruit for the other meals. I doubt my life would be in the state it is if I were any good at denying myself but I can 'balance the books' by eating, coffee for breakfast, salad for lunch and German Chocolate Cake for dinner. It my version of the South Beach diet.
