Florence and the Promise of Pleasure

Australia hits Xmas... those summer holidays are wonderful.... congratulations to my friends who have made it to the end of the year... nearly!
For us here, we head into winter break after a heavy week of exams and marking. Feeling like the dark is moving away, but it isn’t really as it is only the bringing of the light signaling an ending.
Waiting at the end of the week is the promise of white beaches , bare shoulders and blue water... sand, seafood and wine! Hedonistic and sweet.... I can feel it.
My Xmas will be spent on Paje Beach on Zanzibar Island..... a time I am waiting  for, avidly!
WiFi will be a bit dodgy and spasmodic I think so images of my delight will not be always available.

So
Awesome holidays to you all, enjoy your families and friends and your freedom...... I will be thinking of you. It’s been a strange year but one filled with everything any person might wish for... next year will bring more and it will be many months until I see you all as am doing another year over here... to get my fill!
Off now to walk along Gulf Road .....
