Ah, “stuff”. The battle is real.

Hopefully Sinead we’ll be back on the road next month, but still one heck of a lot of work to do. The kids really don’t care where they are so long as there is wifi but they both miss the food in Vietnam and want to be back there soon as well as out of this hot climate. Like me, they prefer cold, so they’re asking for Christmas in Europe this year, ideally London as well as somewhere with lots of snow. We’ll see what we can do! But Boo said to me the other day that he quite likes it here, he’s cool with it. But they’re both reluctant to do much because of the heat. We have a little trip lined up for them next week though.

So they can go to university if they want to. Yes,a lot of blokes are like that. Defined by their jobs, I see it a lot when women contact me asking how to win their partners round. One woman’s husband had the same career as me, a job that I hated and found monotonous donkey work, but he loved it, loved that he was that person. I couldn’t wait to find freedom. I have another American friend, Yale grad, we met on the road and she’s longing to join us but she had to go back to pay off her debts, she’s worked her butt off the last 4 years and can finally leave. Looking forward to seeing her again soon. You’ll find your way if you want it badly enough.
