Ok, waking up from 4 days of site inactivity...

So I made it home on time on Saturday, and was very pleased to see Mum & Dad waiting at the airport to drive me home, which was very kind of them. On the way home, however, I started feeling nauseous... I put it down to travel fatigue and car sickness, but later on that night it became all too clear that Lufthansa had fed me something horribly wrong. Suffice it to say that it didn't stay in my system very long, and by Monday morning I was feeling back up to 100%, but I had to miss church and a Consort Carititatis rehearsal on Sunday, plus an excellent dinner with friends Sunday night. Still, in the bigger picture, I'm not unhappy... If you're going to get sick (and you are) the best time to do it is on the way HOME from your two month holiday in Europe.

The week so far has been slow and generally lazy, although I had a burst of high energy yesterday helping Kelly and Diane unpack a van full of Consort Caritatis' office files yesterday. (Heavy filing cabinets up a flight of stairs... ooog.) Tuesday night I showed up at the end of the Exultate rehearsal to see the gang, and ended up going with them to Tracy's house for beer & (gourmet!) pizza. Yesterday night Molly took me to the symphony to see the TSO perform an excellent programme of Russian music. Other than all of that, I've basically been getting in the mood for Star Wars by playing the new Jedi Knight video game, which came out while I was away. (It's good, and parts of it are excellent, but it's not as consistently good as the last one.)

Today Hoover comes home! My cat's been boarding with my parents for the last four months, but they're bringing her back this afternoon... Hooray!
