Sand Dunes and Salty Air
November 19, 2003, 10:30 p.m. So, I am free, and Guy Sebastian won Australian Idol, and all is right with the world. Tomorrow, I will go shopping with my aunt, who’s out here from Canadia*, and will go swimming for the first time in three years. I just want to sink my body beneath those strong salty waves, feel the cold lapping around my skin, hear the sound of foam crashing over me. I want to do a handstand, with my palms against sand and my feet sticking crazily out of the water. I want the smell and the sound and the . . . well, no matter how much I want the sight, I won’t get it – I go blind as soon as I take off my glasses : ) But I shall get all that, tomorrow, and hopefully, a tan too : ) * I'm aware that’s misspelt, your “beloved” spelling nazi is not slipping in her old age
