I'm Getting Worried!

Odysseus hasn't been blogging lately!

I'm very worried!

The last thing I heard, he had escaped a wrecked ship after Zeus attacked them with a thunderbolt. He was the only survivor but had managed to swim off to an island, although he wasn't sure exactly where he was.

It's been a long long long time since he's updated his blog though. More than a few years actually.

I've been keeping busy for most of that time. I do a lot of weaving; it's my favourite activity ever.

There's just one little problem, and that's all the suitors that have been coming around to try to win my hand in marriage.

After Odysseus didn't come back from the Trojan war, all the men of the city came flocking round here to try to get me to marry them. I'm not going to, of course.

They have no idea that I've been unweaving all my weaving every night! But they did kindly agree to let me finish doing some weaving before I marry anyone!

I thought it was a very crafty plan.

Pity my little angel Telemachus isn't bigger and stronger - he could kill all these silly suitors and that would be that.

Well, as long as Odysseus is okay I'm sure he'll be home very soon!

I Miss Odysseus!!!

My wonderful husband Odysseus has been away for so long!!

Ten years at war AND nearly ten years coming home.

I'm sure he's okay, but still.

I miss you so much my wonderful Odysseus!!

Please get home soon, these suitors are getting annoying!

Love Penelope xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxox
