Just me...

I had work today which wasnt too bad, I wasndered around aimlessly in my break and felt rather aloof as it is the first time in ages that I have been able to leave the shop in my break, normally i have to sit out te back and eat and try to pass the time all the while hoping that we dont get a sudden ruch of customers to interrupt my aimless thoughts!
Nothing really interesting happened taody, we had a busy day which given the fact that there were thunderstorms etc during the day was unexpected. We had done double what we normally do by 3:00 and it wasnt looking good for them when I finally left at 3:30. I saw the boy last night which was good and I had a rather enjoyable evening :P It kinda sucks at the moment tho because we are in the shitty television stage of the year. Hopefully though it will all passt pretty soon and ratings tv will come back.
I am very strongly thinking about going to the States at the end of next year on a work USA program. I can image working over there maybe in the ski fields - i'd probly work as a waitress hnopefully and do a bit of travelling. Or I am thinking that I will take about a year off uni and go over to Italy. I have a dream of sitting out the back of an amazing villa in Italy looking out over the country side -maybe in Cortona just outside of Tuscany?? The colours and smells would be amazing, staring out at plantations of olive trees and people in the distance on the hills harvesting them. I would be sitting on a deck chair, it would be just before sunset, the weather would be perfect, not too hot but still warm enough to drink a fruit cocktail in the sun. The oranges and reds of the sunset would spread across the sky as far as the eye can see. I would go inside just before all the bugs came out and the sun completely dissappeared. I would sit in the second floor window staring out at the dark fields with candles below all waiting for my guewts to arrive. As I would be having an amazing dinner party. The table would be set with white table cloths so that the stains of a good Italian dinner could be scrubbed out the next day :P As the guests arrived we would have drinks out on the back verandah while I was running in and out of the kitchen trying not to burn it down! We would all sit around a great big tabel full of food there would be at least 12 of us, there would be spaghettu, roast, ragu and anything else that we could ever desire, all accompanied by a wine from the local region. For desert there would be dried fruit and cheese, followed by more wine! The laughter and fun would continue well into the night before everyone left to go home. I would leave the dishes for the next day and retire to bed.
Now that is paradise.
