random musings

Well it's now 2 sleeps until I fly home. 2 sleeps after 2 months... went so fast.

Change is in the air in London. Granted July was very cold and grim, but 2 weeks of August have been nice weather. Today, suddenly, the rain is back, and its quite chilly and cold.

The changes are elsewhere too - it's the last long weekend for the UK until Christmas and people are heading out of town. There's a sense of impatience, of 'last chance for summer'. Little changes have occured - all the double-decker bus advertisments have changed from displaying summer movies to fall ones. The stores have suddenly changed to fall clothing. I don't know. Maybe I'm looking for it, but I definitely feel that summer, here, is over, and it's time to move along...

My last week here has been strange. I met up with a close family friend on Monday after work for drinks - hadn't seen him in about 2 years so it was a nice time to chat. Tuesday was my real 'busy' day as I met up with Lars and Patricia for the last time in London (Team 2 for 1!)... and later I met up with my landlady and she took me on a tour of London by night. The super cool thing there was being allowed backstage at Covent Garden, a dancer's dream!

Wednesday was my first attempt at packing. GROAN! I've bought too much and have no space!! I think I'll be wearing 10 layers to get everything in... well, maybe not that bad, but I fully expect an 'overweight' charge on my bags.

My other plans for this week fell through, so I've been pretty low-key, just chilling and getting ready for being at home. My internet at my flat is down to my last £0.25, so I'm pretty silent.. this will be the last blog entry until I'm back home again.

Once I've settled at home I intend on chosing a few select photos to add to my blog, and the rest will go up on Flickr.

Until then, well, pip pip, jolley good show and all that...
