From Scotland, I flew to Luton, and my friend Tali picked me up and we enjoyed two utterly reprehensible and amusing days together. ;-) She had the gutrot from hell (just don’t ask), so we had a very low key visit, which was exactly what we both needed, since my parents wore me out :: chuckle ::

Tali is one of those rare people with whom you can be exactly yourself, so I turned off the last vestiges of PC and had a good time. A bottle of wine, Chinese from the back door of the restaurant downstairs (discounted heavily since they knew Tali was in the same building), a walk around town. The only bummer was that I wasn’t able to hook up with my friend Malcolm, we missed one another by a hair.

I borrowed free wireless from somewhere, read, chatted, ate, laughed, and traded insults with her roomie Pete and Tali. Sophie was in France, still travelling, still recovering from the tragic loss of her partner, Phill. They waved me off last time I was here, but I never knew that “see you next time” meant “next lifetime” for Phill.
