Arriving in London

Monday 13th March 2006
So after a long and perilous journey (well, remarkably shorter than slogging it out in a boat for months like I may have done years and years ago - but equally dramatic!) I have arrived and have done disgustingly nothing I might add.

As I stepped off the plane I picked up the English hunch as the cold bowled me for 6. O degrees the captain had chimed - that's the maximum. Great. Fantastic, even. That is the boarder between freezing and bloody cold - either of which I felt at any time.

After a wee bus ride I arrived in Woking (sussed out by the bus driver, else I might have gone to 'Wanking', 'Walking' 'a-working' etc) I was met with warmth (heating in the car) by Kylie and Shan - yes Shane without the e, thus making it a lady. A real peach actually, who'd apparently rushed out and bought a new bed cover to brighten my room up a tad. It could have been covered with a bin bag for all I cared and knew then it was true love. Yes after about an hour's sleep in the past 24 hours, I fell in love, fell in my bed, and fell asleep. To be awoken with tea an hour later (makes a total of two hours now - greeeeaaat) by my travel companion who was looking out for my 'oversleeping'. Sigh. She meant well.

Anyway, big plans in the pipeline to crawl into the cold tomorrow, get a cellphone, some groceries and a bloody big coat. Did I mention a bloody big coat? So here's just a heads up to you all to let you know I've arrived and to give you time to 'block sender' as you realised you've again made it on to my 'holiday times' mailing list, sigh sigh :) Will have scandal and adventure to report next time but for now just to let you know I'm here, in Spring apparently, and am looking forward to having a grand time.
