confessions of an insomniac..

i'm not a full-time insomniac, but i think i could qualify anyway..i sleep less than i need to, more often than i would like...
last night i think i slept for about two hours...
it is a trait i fear i may have inherited from my mother. fiona, if reading this, will no doubt do that eye-rolling thing she does when i do or say something that highlights how similar i am to our mother, in the light of her having got away with being not very similar to her at all.....!!
in the sleep department, fiona is a gifted and talented young thing, she has anaptitude for sleep like no-one i know...
how does that work?! we have the same mother!
its a capacity for fretting that gets you into sleeplessness. she appears not to have been saddled with that one either!! but alas i have, and so i seek peace and pursue it.
when i first became friends with the lord, i sought peace like i was on a peace-seeking mission. i had guns and everything.
i'm joking of course
but even as a child i had a period of a few months when sleep eluded me, when i was about eight...
fun, hey?!
i'm not sure why i'm putting this on here, but its something about me that you may not know. and it sucks.

H. I love the way you write. Very interesting too bout the old sleeplessness... sounds flippant but I mean in it the sincerest of fashions when I say (quote) 'don't fret... it doesn't add a single hour to your life'. Hughesies sending you welsh love and sunshine x
