Homeward Bound

Still no comments from anyone... I am homeward bound from today and this is likely to be my last post as I am not sre what the internet facility will be like in Hong Kong. I have been using Darrne's Apple here and I think I will need to get one when I get back - it is very nice.

Last night we went to the ex-girlfriends for dinner. It was a very nice roast beef with yorkshire pudding and all the trimmings. The meal was excellent and the roast potatoes out of this world - all crunchy on the outside and soft and fluffy in the middle and covered in gravy - yum. The weather had cooled down a bit and we had a nice walk there and back to Balham. Angie's mother was also there. Very nice woman indeed and works in adult e-learning so I said I must put here in touch with Jenny I am sure they could swap notes. Her sister also lives in New Zealand from time to time but is back here at the momebt,

Those girls have been wonderful to me - very hospitable and lots of fun. The stories have been absolutely hilarious but I fear they may lose a bit of their edge in the re-telling.

Darren has taken one of my bags to work with him and I will take the other and meet him at Earls Court around 5 to head off to Heathrow. As I said I don't feel ready to come back and will be very sad to leave but then I guess all good things must come to an end. I am coming back cattle class which will be a bit of a come down after the royal treatment on the way out but I will be able to stop in Hong Kong and hopefully do some present shopping - otherwise you will all miss out and I will have to think of some other way of compensating Gilly for the scooping.

It is raining here this morning and my shoes are still wet from the last downpour on Sunday so I am pondering what to do about getting down to the cafe to have my morning latte, cake and read of the paper. I am going to enjoy it while I can because I had a text from work to say that Cabinet had signed off the funding for my project so it will all be on when I get back!

Ok so will try and give a ring from Hong Kong if I can - the mobile may not work though because it didn't when I tried to text on the way over - if not see you at the weekend,
