London Darling

Thats right, I'm back on British soil, and oh how a tear came to my eye when I landed at Heathrow yesterday. After spending the last 17 months in Asia, the first thing I notice is obviously, that I can understand what everyone in all directions around me, is talking about. This initially made me feel as if I should start talking with them, it was slightly overwhelming.

Matt met me as I walked through the gates, looking as if he'd just spent 2 months in India! Which he had! My adrenalin was racing. Wonderful.

Anyway, I woke this morning at 7a.m. to the sound of birds singing outside my window (jet lag has it's benefits) And went for a walk around the block to the convienience store. Which isn't an appropriate name for them round here. Back in Incheon I wouldn't have had to leave my apt building to go to the shop, but here, in London, I have to walk for 10 mins. Don't get me wrong, I'm not complaining, it's just an observation. I loved every minute of the walk. From the moment I stepped outside, when I was faced with the townhouses on Leinster square, with the park in the centre, blue sky, fresh air, and a mini parked right out front. It could only be England. Assa!

I just want to say that I had a lovely dinner of fish and chips last night, and that I'll be heading to Stonehenge this week for a road trip, haha. OK it's breakfast time.

I love the way you describe your return home, even the little details (suddenly understanding everyone around you, the mini, the "slate gray victorian sky"....ok i added that one). Anyway the point being, i really enjoyed reading this particular article. I really could see and feel a lil bit of what you might have felt....not to mention the imagery of good ol 'Leinster Square'. Well done Briony. I wish you all the best at home.

I'm glad to hear that you made it home safe and sound. I'm sure that you're greatly missed in Korea. Things are great here in the U.A.E. I really dig this place! Take Care

It was her http://rebestal.info/dada+skrypt+html.html way of swearing.. For all that, wild horses could not have torn from the Colonel a http://startso11.info/Opera+9.0.html word about Hotchkiss's anger.. Pike was often noticed, before and after meals, http://startso11.info/apteka+w+tr%C3%B3jmie%C5%9Bcie.html standing at the desk in the hotel office (called in those times the bar-room) engaged in making calculations.. I've been http://startso11.info/www.oke.%C5%82om%C5%BCa.pl.html there often enough myself.. His poems were free from convention in technique as well as in spirit, although their chief innovation was simply that as a rule there was no regular number of syllables in a line; he let the http://wowyesaf.info/rod+steward+koncert+gda%C5%84sk.html lines be any length they wanted to be, to fit the sense or the length of what he had to say.. Are you certain that you made no mistake in the house, said Edward, and that you really did http://startso11.info/o%C2%9Crodek+wypoczynkowy+polar+w+stegnie+opinie.html give it to Mrs.. All this was in a vague notion, which everybody had and has, that this second life would eventually bring out some great results, unknown at present, to somebody http://wowyesaf.info/regaly+sklepowe.html somewhere.. It is a homage paid to the unsubdued and indestructible in the human mind, http://startso11.info/www.getinary.com.html and to the demoniacal which furnishes the dream-wish and which we find again in our unconscious.. Her husband tells her, Elise L---- and her fiance had intended coming, but could only get some cheap seats, three for one http://startso11.info/billard8.html florin fifty kreuzers, and these they would not take.. Thus there was required a second activity--in our terminology the activity of a second system--which should not permit the memory occupation to advance to perception and therefrom to restrict the psychic forces, but should lead the excitement emanating from the craving stimulus by a devious path over the spontaneous motility which ultimately should so change the outer world as to allow the real perception of the http://rebestal.info/darmowe+lesby.html object of gratification to take place.. For some unexplained reason, your Honor, my client desires to suspend further proceedings, with a view to effect a peaceable compromise with http://startso11.info/szydelkowanie.html the plaintiff.. I should then expect to find the theoretical value of the study of dreams in its contribution to psychological knowledge and in its preparation for an understanding of neuroses. http://startso11.info/bo+bez+ciebie.html.

He was no longer young, you know, when I came, http://startso11.info/www.pela.cukiernictwo.pl.html and his fame and fortune were secure.. She had expected to return home before matters had proceeded so far, but being obliged to remain http://startso11.info/stra%C5%BC+graniczna+k%C4%99trzyn.html some time longer, she was equally afraid to go on and to leave off, a denouement being almost certain to ensue in either case...
