Back home at last. a second trip completed. And what can I learn from this latest venture?
Firstly that introducing yourself to the neighbouring campers is a worthwhile move. I had some lovely conversations, especially with Dutch people, got some free food and wine and learned a lot from them.
Secondly, I have decided that, while self awareness is all very commendable, it does not (and need not) necessarily lead to any change in your behaviour. It just helps to know that, and perhaps why, you do somethings in certain ways and to remind you that you can at times be a hypocrite (we all are at sometime or other), so be careful when you (even silently) criticise others.
Anything else? Well, I have such enthusiastic intentions on the road, like turning this blog into a book. But when I get home it doesn't sound such a good idea. It's like the really good thought that you have in the middle of the night, the one that almost explains the meaning of life, which you write down on the pad by the side of your bed and then, when you wake up in the morning enthusiastic to progress it, you see in the cold light of day that it just says 'marmalade'.
But then maybe the idea isn't stupid, maybe it's just that your head gets full of so many other things when you get home or wake up. Many of these are totally unnecessary worries or unproductive actions (so, new resolution to self - stop aimlessly surfing the internet). Perhaps, if I could do away with these issues then I would have more creative time and energy to actually turn all this blurb into something. Yes, I'll have another think about that.
And the final thing I have learned, is to undo the slimming effects of all that exercise by eating a lot as soon as I get home. That way my weight gets back above Sally's, where it needs to be if I am to have a peaceful home life. Luckily I have now done this. Saddleman, sacrificing himself so that others may benefit.
In the meantime, that's it. Bye, and thanks for reading.
