I am back in Perth for a week, having a wonderful time catching up with friends and family. I'm staying with different people almost every night and all are being incredibly hospitable. Thanks to you all - I won't embarrass you by naming you publicly, but you know who you are:-)
I'm at my son Bruce's place at the moment. We had a family dinner last night with several branches and twigs represented, which was great. Earlier in the day, I went to a meeting of the WA Shakespeare Club, one of the groups I've been missing terribly since I moved to Mount Gambier. During the coming days I'll be able to spend time with friends from the genealogy and SF communities, too, then on Friday night it's off to England via Dubai.
I'm reading all my friends' blogs but hardly doing any posting. Please forgive me for that - it's just because I'm using other people's computers and don't like to hog them for too long:-)
Hi, Satima! It is Friday, the 23d now, and you must be winging your way to England. Here's to a happy and safe journey, and we shall all await news of your arrival and first impressions.

Yup, I'm in England, staying a few days with my friend Diana in London (Sloane St, no less!) and trying to recover from a nasty dose of jet lag. The journey wasn't bad but long haul travel is never fun, is it? I saw three moderately entertaining movies en route. One was "The Queen" which is worth seeing for Helen Mirren's wonderful acting, although I really don't think it's appropriate to make movies about living people.
ReplyDeleteI'm looking forward to seeing you next month, Alison. Have a safe and pleasant trip over the pond!
