all the stuff i would buy if I had lots of money:

 

books…journals…. computers….cameras…..ship things….fob watches…..

 

but i would be no happier

 

i might even be less happy, having everything I could desire

 

and nothing to dream about

 

(at present, we are ‘poor’, as poor as we’ve ever been; but also as rich )

my goodness, but it’s been a long time since I’ve come here to stay for a bit.

sorry if it caused any vague wondering on the part of anyone who might have noticed.

i DO follow my subscriptions by email. i guess my internet routine has changed, with my ship obsession, a browsing picture obsession (especially of ships), diverting my attention to TUMBLR

and have done more private online writing on 750 words. sometimes.

 

but my first and eternal internet love will always be Xanga, and I am sorry to have strayed so long.

So here are some pictures, from this, probably the fastest year of my life…and getting faster….. all the time…..

lucky i’m learning to type faster too!;
