Sleep I love you

To my dearest, most wonderful sleep,

I love you. You are my friend.

You dreamily take me to far away places where everything is fluffy, cosy and warm. You embrace me tightly like a warm hug from a long lost relative. You relax me, soothe, me and leave me feeling bright and zingy ready to start another day.

Sleep I want you to know I miss you, and you are not forgotten. I've had to forsake you for a little while as I tend to my babies and write my blog. But please do not fret we will be reunited again soon and when we are I will never take you for granted again. I will respect and cherish you and keep you close, for without you life would be is impossible and I could well am going insane.

So until we meet again. 

Yours always

Launderette bliss

Is it just me or does anyone else find it utterly relaxing to sit in the launderette?

I think I may be a little strange because I absolutely love going to my local and drying sackfuls of freshly washed clothes.

As soon as I walk through the shiny glass door a calmness envelops me. Maybe it's a combination of the fresh scent of washing powder, the gentle whirring of appliances and the fact that I'm about to accomplish (yet again), the endless household chore that is laundry, but I just love the way being in that little place makes me feel. Settled and at ease.

As I sit opposite the giant washer on its final spin. The rhythmic din clears my head and sends me into another space and time. Of course there are other people at the launderette too, but I am so at one with myself I don't even notice them and I am sure they must feel the same.

 

 

It's just me in the hazy world of laundrette bliss. No other half, no children, no distractions, just me and my thoughts and the giant washing machines and tumble dryers, cleansing stubborn stains, turning soggy and wet into dry, fluffy and warm, forgetting worries, co-existing peacefully. Hmmm must go more often...
