Getting back to sleep is not always easy

Getting back to sleep, especially a deep tranquil steep is not so easy when one has been woken up by a distrubance.
I have developed somewhat of a pattern: usually I'm so tired that I'm in need of an early night so I fall asleep usually before 10pm and if left undisturbed I could probably sleep until morning but.....
Either someone telephones or there is lighting or that stake of books which are balancing almost happily on the edge of that shelf decides it's time to fall & bang, that it's I'm awake and can't get back to sleep!

And on the 8th day of January

I have begun to feel slightly more at ease with this New Year, twenty-ten or whatever it will be known. I spend the first few days recovering, this entailed mainly getting over jetlag and my overindulgences at the dinner table.

So far I have also managed to abstain from an addiction that had me in a headlock in 2009(twenty-0-nine), Caffeine, I have alway believed in my ability to bully myself into de-cease any actions, my method consist telling myself "no more" and then when the temptation arises, guilt triping myself into not doing it, net result is stoppage with some internal conflict, the new year is also a great incentive.

So here I am, 8 days caffeine free, I have been writing down places I would like to visit in twenty-ten, the list is quite long, which is slightly depressing as I only have 4 days annual leave left after March, the expression "that blows" comes to mind, but I guess there are always the long weekend minibreaks to help break-up the time.

Iceland
Norway
Sweden
Turkey
Austria
Notting Hill
