Pink elephants flying around

Yesterday a great day. In the evening I mean, after my dentist gave me a huge shot of morfine... (or something similar. grin) I didn't feel anything anymore...
Heaven has to be painless... No teeth there.
Zabine picked me up (I guess she felt a little bit sorry for me) and we went to the park, drink champagne (she didn't want to cook for a tasteless person)
Well the champagne tasted very well, and we had a great quiet evening.
I really loved it.
Although a lot of things happened and things changed while I was away, nothing changed.
Evrything stayed the same.
We were looking to the swallows in the air, and I guess a lot of people that know me, have to think of me when they see a swallow (yes, Martien, I have a tattoo, a little swallow on my ancle.)
And suddenly she is staring in the air and says: believe it or not but i see pink elephants flying.
I thought she was joking, but when she made me look up, I saw indeed this big pink elephant.
An airballoon.
It was great, a good joke and I knew everything is OK.
Later, I went to bed in the open sky, on the roof at Bart's. It is too hot in this country to sleep inside.
Only few stars shining, if you compare it to the amazing silent desert (or noisy for other people) in Jordan.
I dreamt of pink elephants, no mosquitos and Tel Aviv coming over.

Today I crossed to my sisters place, to sneak in the mailbox.. YES!!!! My plate has arrived, so I will go and fetch that beauty today (and probably soon, the weather is too good to work...)
And while passing the city in the tram, I suddenly wondered 'Why do I want to go to all these places when this place/Ghent ressembles perfection?'
I don't have an answer for that.
And I don't think the answers will come easily...
