Having some time off from travelling has been a bit weird. I've been mainly doing nothing; watching telly, reading books, cooking, knitting, a little housework, playing old computer games, New York Times crosswords, mainly just wasting time and try to make sure my boyfriend is writing his thesis and not slacking off. And it hasn't been a wasted effort! He's been working hard but his perfectionism tends to take over, making the progress slow. But it has been great to be near him!
The autumn has been beautiful; warm sunny days and lovely colours of yellow, orange and red in the trees. In Asia often I ended up walking the whole day; here I tend to stay in and venture out only for short walks. We've been out to see some films, met up some friends for a pint or three, as well attended a middle of night street party / protest, but as the thesis writing tends to get better towards the night, the evenings have mainly been quiet.
I'm due to fly back to Asia on Sunday, but I might change the flights to slightly later date. The news about floods in Thailand and Vietnam might change the direction of travel slightly. The display of forces of nature in Indonesia have also scared me a little. I can't obviously prevent something from like that happening when I'm in Asia, but I really need to read the news carefully and check which areas are affected.
Finally, I've been surprised how many of my friends and family have mentioned that they read this blog! Thank you for reading and all the kind words!
