I Could Say...

..."I miss you terribly."
But I'd only be lying.

So I just came back from Adelaide on Sunday, late-afternoon. Adelaide was actually much better than I expected. We went to parks the first day, the Church & Rundle Mall the next. And on Saturday we went to the Beachouse, the beach nearby and went on a ridiculous shopping spree both that day and the day before. On the last day (Sunday), we went to Melba's Chocolate Factory. I imagined the chocolate factory to be a little similar (well, I expected it to be) Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory. Except, it was more of a warehouse with tables and tables of chocolate and lollies. I got jawbreakers and bags of white chocolate raspberry bullets. Absolute favourites.

Well the things I bought were mostly secondhand books (at least 10), a David Bowie CD and an Adidas jacket. I wasn't really in much of a mood to buy clothes. I bought the jacket because I needed one. I really like it though. I'm almost broke now. Damn holidays. And I feel quite disappointed though, I feel as though I've never left.

Here's a poem from one of the secondhand books I bought,
The Thoughts Of Nanushka by Nan Witcomb:

Once I would have followed you,
begging you to let me in -
apologising for things
I'd never done,
gratefully accepting
your cold indifference
just to be near you -
I know better now -
but don't worry -
there will always be
another fool
to take my place -


I love it. I'm going to start making a habit of quoting one of her poems in each of my blogs. I have nothing better to write these days.
Love, Bonez.
