Around 2am, at the height of the stormy windfest that has been raging and howling since 8pm last night, I was woken by a really loud noise in the garden.<\/p>\n
I mean it was a REALLY LOUD NOISE.<\/p>\n
Well I checked, obv.<\/p>\n
Padded downstairs, put the garden lights on and peered through the garden doors.<\/p>\n
Nothing.<\/p>\n
But it must have been a really loud noise, to have woken me.<\/p>\n
Looked again.<\/p>\n
Still nothing.<\/p>\n
Whatever – and wherever – the noise was, it was enough to have made going back to sleep difficult.<\/p>\n
So now I’m back in bed, mug of hot chocolate and a glass of fizzy water beside me, music playing quietly on the iPod dock.<\/p>\n
Wondering what to do.<\/p>\n
There’s a couple of music reviews that need editing, their submission deadlines are imminent.<\/p>\n
There’s a piece of audio that needs a final edit\/production polish, but there’s no rush for that.<\/p>\n
Or I could sort the laundry and put the first load on – but that would mean getting out of bed again, and I’m trying to avoid that.<\/p>\n
I could read, there are enough unread books within reach.<\/p>\n
If I had someone here, someone who loved me, someone I loved, I could spoon, snuggle and fall asleep.<\/p>\n
But being here by myself is different to being with someone you love.<\/p>\n
I could watch an episode of Buffy…<\/p>\n
But instead I’m going to just starfish here, in the middle of the bed, tapping notes in to this blog.<\/p>\n
And think about people. And worry about people.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
