Off the Floor

I was lying on my mattress on the floor the other day thinking, how long would it take of this type of existence for evolution to catch up and adapt to the point that I would no longer use my legs and arms and become some sort of elongated slug creature?

I came to the conclusion around a month, so I promptly got onto my stiffened limbs and headed down to the flight centre and bought a flight home.

Yes indeed, two important points to pick up on there, yes, one, I have moved house and for the last month have been living with 2 irish friends from Freshcoice, and more importantly, two, I'm following the lead of Vince and saying goodbye to NZ and heading back to the UK. My date of arrival is the 7th of July, when once again I will be re-united with Jules(hopefully at the airport, I like the romance of it) and the world will seem a bit more normal again. And well 3 now I think about it, haven't really got a grasp on evolution. I'm pretty sure just because you sleep closer to the floor that wouldn't really affect your legs or arms probably would just leave you with a bit of a sore back from all the additional bending down, but I have a corphotic spine anyway....so what's the difference? to be honest, if anything it helps with getting down there so I'm using the tools of evolution to my advantage and sleeping on the floor may well be my perfect state of rest. Come to think about I've lived in three houses in Queenstown and I've slept on the floor in each one, that's it's Jules we're never buying a bed again.
All that being said, it's turned out a pretty nice arrangement for all concerned. Although on the floor, I have my own area on a level to myself(brochure described it as a mezzanine) which overlooks a spacious sitting/dining room area which overlooks a fantastic view over the lake. Important point to pick up on here, generally to get a good view you need to be at a vantage point. And what a vantage point, smack right on the top of Queenstown hill, the sunsets are spectacular the walk home from work at midnight no so much. Yep with every good thing comes a niggle and that's this ones, but don't worry, there's little chance of me developing muscles on these chicken legs, I've gone and found someone to give me a lift home so you can all rest easy.
This ones a bit warmer than the cardboard cabin, so you should all be able to see me pretty much on my arrival back, was a little worried that I'd have to spend the first three weeks in a basement at the Natural History museum getting thawed out.
tick tock!
