Friday: I woke up this morning and felt empty, but didn’t really know why. It was a lovely spring day outside and I was in Vancouver.
Until I realised that there was no animals around. No cats to lay on my chest, no dogs to lick my fingers even before I’ve woken up properly. No horses to neigh impatiently when I finally got out into the mist to feed them their breakfast.
Jeremy, one of my couchsurfing hosts, has a lovebird called Tuna. She’s a real personality, charming as hell and she bites everything. But she’s no Alex. Or Remy. Or Victor. It’s gonna take some time to get used to only being around humans again.
