All London for a change!!! in All Good Things

Life continues to develop at a rapid speed. I thought with the tour being over for a while I’d be a bit lost, but not for a moment. I still have no idea how I’m going to start earning money again, but right now I’m not worrying about that because there’s enough else going on that may lead to all manner of things. Money will come. It always does. Somehow.
It’s strange being home so consistently and not rushing off to farflung parts of the country or the world. I’ve been quite ill over the past 10 days, first with a raging fever, then a nasty cold and then a migraine, but that’s to be expected during my first downtime all year. I have successfully recovered from all of them and am raring to go. The house is as spotless as I can make it (living with an artist is a bit of a challenge - especially when he’s bleaching dozens of chicken bones in the kitchen for an installation!), I’m finally having time to get to all the sorting-out projects that I’ve wanted to do for years, and life on Twitter is exploding out in all kinds of directions into real friends and real adventures and real opportunities. My life would have been extremely different this year without the wonder of Twitter....
I’ve only just started to process all that’s gone on during the past eight months since I stopped that job I hated so intensely. It’s been pretty much nonstop since last November and seems likely to continue that way, but at least with the break in the tour I can have a chance to reflect and catch up mentally. The life I have now is unrecognisable from the life I had 12 months ago, when I was about to head for Hong Kong, Singapore, New Zealand, Australia, Korea, Qatar, Dubai, Belgium and Nigeria, on what would be the last hurrah of my former career (although I didn’t know that then). I couldn’t have imagined how wonderfully things were about to go.
And it’s all thanks to one particular man. He has no idea just how profoundly he has altered my life, not just this once, but twice. I will forever be grateful for his presence in my life and I hope that one day I will find a way to give him as much as he has given me. Whenever I feel down or apprehensive about my new life, I just remember his arms wrapped warmly around me the last time we were together, and the intoxication of his smile, and I am rejuvenated.
Thank you, Jon.
