Welcome Back to England

I'm back.

I feel different from when I returned from Japan. I missed people a lot more this time, but I had a wonderful time. When I last made an entry (which was at the end of yesterday for me), I had just seen a musical, and was very hungry. I'm back in my house, my room, and listening to the soundtrack to the musical.

It's good to have things back to normal. The keyboard feels so deep compared to a laptop keyboard. The keys actually move. It's leading to a lot of typographical errors, but I'm working on getting more used to it.

After I woke up on Thursday morning, I cleaned up, I packed up most things, and I went on a last shopping trip in local Brooklyn. I just bought snacks and some drinks for Henny. Reaching home with not long before I had to leave and a slice of pizza, I finished everything and waddled with my heavy bag all the way to the subway, and from there caught a series of interconnecting trains all the way to JFK.

I spent my last money on tickets and an Oreo McFlurry, before boarding my final route home. And it was one of the worst flights I have ever taken. I just felt so ill the whole way, I had a nasty headache that wouldn't let me sleep, and while it had built up all day, I was able to resist it until I was on the plane. After a while I was brought some aspirin, and it helped. But not being able to sleep on the plain caused some problems, and I was quite tired for my return to England, much like I was after Japan when I slept on Dan's sofa the next day.

It was very good to see my family again, and I showed them the presents I bought and the sweets I'd purchased, and we had a good laugh over an English breakfast. Then I drove home (what a relief to drive again, drive properly), and saw Emma, which was also an amazing feeling. We hadn't seen each other properly in so long. Her hair had grown and she was full of bouncy energy, and it was great. After much photo sharing, I needed to nap.

And since then, I have been reading about Nigerian scams and CIA handbooks. It's great. My computer is so much more powerful than the laptop. I appreciate the laptop's higher resolution though, and in tribute I set mine back to 1600x1200, at least for a bit. Everything's small, but it's the best resolution for a 19" monitor.

I need to play some videogames before I sleep, I'm still adjusting though.

I'm back, I'm home, everything is going well, and I have missed this country. Not enough for me to want to stay here forever, but enough to plan to enjoy the next year to the full extent. I probably won't blog as often as I have done while I was in America, but less happens here. Hugs to you all, I'm home.
