Wet day!

The drizzle hung over the city like a wet blanket for much of the day. It certainly obliterated the view over the city centre on my way to work this morning.

While making tea this evening I've been staring longingly at the calendar in our kitchen showing 'paradise islands'. I'd love to go somewhere like that but i don't know if I ever could. I love travelling but I struggle with the unbalance created by being a relatively wealthy tourist in countries that are less wealthy than ours. It makes it hard to meet people on the same level. It'd be good to have a job that allowed you to see the world whilst doing something useful!
