Yesterday I got an email from my love. It was only a dozen sentences or so long but I’ve re-read it about twenty times already. Just having his name in my inbox makes him more real and the email brought with it a wave of missing.
Today we managed a phone call. Which means that I should now be on a massive high right not, but it was all a bit frustrating - Alby was all grizzly during it as it was coming up to his dinner time so he was hungry. And if that wasn’t enough Percy decided to freak out in the garden and spent half the call barking at the BBQ. I could have removed the Alby grizzles by giving him a feed but that would have thrown his dinner and the rest of the evening (and I’ve got a date with Makka Pakka these days).

Contact is so infrequent that when it comes you want it to be perfect, but rather the old adage “No expectations, no disappointments” sounds out in my mind.
Last time Mark was on tour we had to make it work against a backdrop of explosions and dodgy phone lines. It worked but it took a bit of time adjusting. You have to prepare yourself for frustrations. And make sure you start every call with “I love you” in case you don’t get a chance to end with it. Today we have to make it work against a Trouble Monkey, a Trouble Hound as well as whatever Mark’s side decides to throw at us. It will take time, it will take effort and it will take team work but we’ll get there. We always do.
