I'm back!
Touched down at 8pm Monday night. Jetlagging now, which explains this unearthly hour post.
It's only 730pm in London. I would be wolfing down a platter of beer-battered fish and greasy chips if I were there now.
It is so hot and humid here. My skin has been pampered by cold breezes and sub-ten temperatures, so even typing on the laptop makes me feel like I'm digging in a oil rig.
My dog doesn't recognize me now, just after TWO MONTHS of me being away. She growls at me, and doesn't stop barking and attempting to sink her chops into my hand. Traitor! :(
I want Krispy Kremes.
I want war museum exhibits.
I want long afternoons lingering at quirky bookstores.
I want scones, cheese twists, tarts and jellybean bags.
I want live soccer games explained to me by the minute.
I want to be walking around Covent Garden and St. James' Park, led by someone burying his nose in a map.
I want to wake up and smile because
you are right by my side.
Laid bare
