Hiding in London

I've been staying at my friend's house in London, in Croydon... and although I've gone into London proper just to go to the British Library, I haven't told anyone I'm here at all! One reason is that I had to recover from Thursday night out in Blandford, Dorset, where I drank *way* too much, after many months of abstinence (most the year, really).

Anyway, I miss London, and travelling around. Thankfully it is nice staying here at Shuri's house, peaceful and relaxing, and she and her petmale are both clever and knowledgeable about stuff. And have lots of books too!

Anyway, then I stayed up until 5am talking to people online... I've been offline so much, I have loads and loads to catch up on! Because I've been working abroad (in unpredictable places) the times I've been online have been the only time I've been able to keep in touch with my friends.

Well next year it'll be different, because I'm moving back to England from Germany. Can't wait! (Apart from the squalor, obnoxious people, bad road system and all that!)
