Surviving England

What a brilliant 5 days.

It seems like a very long time ago that I walked e to the station, but it was only this morning. Now I'm back in my own flat, it's not that it seems empty, but it is true that he seems missing. I loved having him here. I loved him being around. We had so much fun, and lastnight was one of the best bits: just him being here, making dinner, watching a movie... They're all part of the good stuff :o)

'night all.

Talking on the rocks from late afternoon, through sunset behind the island, and night-swimming in the warm bay water, with cognac.

The second most perfect place...

お花見, 北アイルランド風



Went for a walk earlier on and spotted a few blossoms out and about. There were even some in the garden – this weeping apple tree beside the fence was about the most convincing. No drunk Japanese people with sake on blue tarpaulin, though. :oD

I need this in my life

It's a countdown clock that you have to beat in the morning.

The aim is to get out of the house/apartment/hotel room before it reaches zero.

Saw it on はなまるマーケット last week!

"Never could resist a ticking clock..."

Weird, eh?

As I begin the process of leaving, I can't help but be drawn back to my past here. This place was a huge part of the happy and sad times. Last time I saw it was horrible. But I still have some nice memories there.

End of office attendance for the day

But it goes on.

Not to worry - I've had a medium to good day, actually. Biked it in 12 hrs ago, then had a day reading a grant application draft. Had ideas for it, and also had ideas for the Extravaganza! Which I was dreading thinking about, but now believe has the capapacity to be quite good.

Also faffed a bit on Facebook. But mostly worked.

Also, my arse cheeks hurt cos I did quite a lot of work at the gym lastnight. Haha

And nice music now playing on my iPod on the train between Fuchers and Matchley.

Lovely.

Course, a phoner from Mr C inevitably brightened my mood. I'm so easy to manipulate... ;o)

Time to eat, I think!

Cold nights, warm days

It's bitterly cold (with apologies to other Wogan fans) these nights.

But the weekend just past was quietly perfect.

Just wanted to say that.

I enjoy these weekends with Mr C so much.

That is all :)

お休みっ

Sorry for a frog

Spotted on a young teenager's baseball cap:

"Sorry for a frog
Happy songs for fuckin' people"

on the 小田急 express, coming back from the onsen that Mr C and I visited
