The Romance of the Sea

Dear hearts,

Miss Mich does love the weekend. The pens are loking after themselves and the bright young things are out and about which leaves Miss Mich to amuse herself.

As you all know, Miss Mich loves the water. Adores the sea and all its little fishy's. Sailing with the Green Guru, who is a patient and fair Captain, Miss Mich is learning the ropes, setting the sails and having a whale of a time.

There is a romance of the sea that is hard to resist and when the weather fair and the waves kind, there is nothing to be done but capitulate. The far far north provides too many little spots to lose oneself, swim about and find refuge and quiet anchorage.

Being out on the water with a sky and horizon line that stretch forever with no end in sight, puts into perspective ourselves and our place in the world. Miss Mich likes nothing more than to stand on the deck, wind in her own sails and daydream. Miss Mich is perhaps getting a little sentimental here and will have to channel a little of the Shar on Morrie before things get too sappy.

I'm not sure that the Afghani's when on their perilous trip from Indonesia to Australia would feel the same sense of romance as Miss Mich, and all one can hope is that the government will be as kind to these people as the winds on the weekend were to Miss Mich and the aptly named good ship "Sanctuary".

Enjoy fair weather, tolerance and Monday.

Love Miss Mich
