This sounds very positive.

I spent quite a while, a few years ago, “functionally homeless”. Although I had somewhere to live, it was in Dorset, and it wasn’t a very helpful place for me to be at the time, so I ended up going from couch to spare room to sofabed for months on end. By the end of it, I felt relieved that I didn’t have to pack up and move every few weeks, but I also missed the variety, the adventure.

I just found this old blog post about it, and I like the update at the end.

Lloyd, your home is, as mine was and is, online. Where you are physically is just a resting point as you travel along the road. It’s where your heart is that counts.

There’s a bit in a Stoppard play – I think it’s Jumpers – where two characters are talking about the earth going round the Sun. One character is saying that you can understand why people thought the sun went round the earth, because that’s what it looks like. The other character then asks – ‘but what would it look like if the earth went round the sun?’ The answer is of course that it would look exactly the same, because the earth does go round the sun.

Not really sure if that’s relevant to your post – but I’ve always liked that bit of the play, and your post made me think of it.

And hooray, hooray, it’s sunny today.

Cheers,
Stuart
