Random List Of Things I Am Thinking As I Fly Back To Indonesia

1.    Organising the new apartment in townsite: I think I will give Oliver the upstairs space, buy a sofa bed for me to sleep on downstairs and buy some huge paintings to hang on the walls. I believe it was William Morris who said that you should always surround with things you believe to be beautiful or something similar. I can’t live in an empty shell.
2.    My relationship with Ade and him coming to live in Sumbawa for a couple of months: Maybe it’s time I settled down and stopped having so much casual sex. We have pushed the limits a bit as a couple and maybe monogamy would be good for us. I am not sure I can do that but perhaps I should give it a try. It will be strange because he will be at the house some nights and I will have to sleep in townsite. Wahid has a badge so he can come into townsite. Can I keep my hands off him on the nights I have to sleep in there? All I would have to do is ask him to come in. Can I be a devoted husband again?
3.    How school will be and what shit will go down there this term: Sally is leaving so that will make a big difference. Who will take her job? I am pretty sure the same stuff will continue but I seem to be impervious to all the stress, which is a good thing. Lots of expat families are going too. Am I teaching art or not?
4.    Oliver gets to start at my school, which will be fantastic!
5.    I can’t wait to get back into my exercise routine. I have swam once while being in Tasmania and haven’t been to the gym at all. I did swim a bit the first week in Bali.
6.    I hated being in Tasmania. This time has confirmed it yet again. It was freezing cold but that’s not the reason why I dislike being there. I am not sure what it is but every time I visit I feel the same way after a few days.  It has something to do with the looks on people’s faces you see in the street. It doesn’t feel like home anymore. I feel I don’t belong there. Indonesians seem to be a much happier people.
7.    My sister is a prize bitch. My Mum sent her a message when we arrived and I expected her to ignore it – she did. We didn’t see her.
8.    My Dad doesn’t seem that much worse. He sits and snoozes all day. He doesn’t talk. His eyes are empty.
9.    I have missed Ade. I can’t wait for us to kiss and play. It’s funny – you don’t realise sometimes how good you have it and you don’t miss something till it’s taken away from you.
10.    Someone smoked in the toilet on the flight as I am typing this. I wonder – will they be in big trouble when we arrive in Denpasar?
11.     Still 5 days of holiday left. I intend to enjoy laying in the sun, swimming, having sex with Ade, eating out, indulging Oliver.
12.    Bit of shopping to do still: Will I buy a sofa bed? I have had my eyes on the mirrors they make in Bali. I would love a big one for the bare walls in the apartment and I really do need to buy a toilet for the Yoyo’s house.
13.     A few people I thought I’d catch up with in Tasmania that I didn’t bother with.
