Dundee Stu

I'm super content: I just like moaning!

30 January 2005

285.
Nothing much to report. I have spent most of the day processing and uploading the photos that I took whilst in Portugal last week. I took a lot, and it is taking some time. So today, I have been in Portugal in my mind, if not in body. I've begun to notice that I am developing a love-hate relationship with that particular country. When I'm there, it doesn't take long before I wish I was back in Scotland. On the other hand, while I'm in Scotland, I often think to myself how lucky I am to be able to head off to Portugal so often. I see my friends working in Dundee day in, day out, looking forward to their fortnight holiday, then I am glad that that is not me. Then again, while I'm over there, I often find myself wishing that I had a nice office job in Dundee! Fickle, or what. When it all boils down to it, I am blissfully happy... I just like complaining! I have a wonderful family, a nice house, I am my own boss, I am not badly paid doing what I want to do, I get to spend a lot of time in one of Europe's most beautiful cities. Yup. No matter how much I might gripe about things, deep down I know that I wouldn't change it for anything.

So why do you champ at the bit when in Portugal? Perhaps being gone from your lovely family?

Blessed are they who have the time to moan! I'm not above whining, myself. There's certainly something to "The grass is always greener on the other side of the fence."! Unlike most people, you get the opportunity to hop over the fence once in a while.

Moaning is good for the soul ;-)

You need some spring sunshine & less travel time. It's always nice to get home.

There's nothing more enjoyable than a good moan!
