I'm at Home, but not. It's all very strange.
Some observations and randomness:
Good friends make the passing of three years feel like three minutes.
Hearing automated announcements in Scottish accents freaks me out.
Seeing a poster for this in Glasgow Central station on the way home on Thursday night made me giggle like a loon, and got me funny looks when I took my camera out to take a photo of said poster.
Speaking of phones: Old and busted - New Hotness
Expect cute cat photos and movies, or at least, the cloest I can get to cuteness from the least camera posey cat I've ever known. He *so* hates having his picture taken.
I survived the seminar giving without making an utter arse of myself in front of either the clients, or my boss, who I was doing the seminar with. This is undoubtedly a good thing.
I've managed to only cry once (so far) since coming home, but it still makes my throat tighten to see my dad's coat still hanging on the peg in the hall.
When laying my clean, cat-hair free, black clothes out in the morning before going to seminar deux, I will, of course, lay them on the bit of the bed that the cat rolled around on the night before, and they will instantly become magnetic to every cat hair in a 5 mile radius.
Being up, dressed and out of the house in bright sunshine at 8.30 on a saturday morning on a bank holiday weekend is so. very. wrong.
Going back to bed at 2pm for 3 hours makes things slightly better, but it's still all wrong.
There's no chinese food in the world like the stuff from the restaurant nearest the house you grew up in.
The local pub has a stunningly beautiful art nouveau fireplace stuffed away in a corner of the bar, where nobody but beered up blokes go to play pool. This is very wrong, and I want to go set it free, so I can put it in my bedroom.
No matter how much I miss my mum, and my friends who live up here, London is most definitely now my love, my life, my work and my home.
Come *home* soon :-)
