feelin' dirty

'bout ye!

posting was too darn problematic on the ol' dial up so i gave up trying to post, meaning there is much catch up to be done.

feels most refreshing to be back in the milder climes of belfast and for first time in ages not to be persistantly pouring with sweat. after bone dry temps reaching as high as 110 degrees in provence, today london gave us both intense humidity and a 10 minute monsoon, (the former was pretty gross and the latter rather thrilling.)

jude has posted her fotos at flickr - see link on her blog - and you'll get a good picture of our trip, excuse the pun. there's also a handy link to the exhibition we went to today at the haywood gallery, which turned out to be rather marvellous. i took a load of photographs while i was away, but as i persist in using that antiquated medium known as film, any images will have to wait until they've been processed.

i'm covered in london grime and need to have a bath. urgently. i shall ponder thoughts, reflections, memories etc while i soak.

but i'll say this, it's a rather marvellous blessing to return from a holiday feeling like you are going on holiday all over again, such is one's excitement at seeing one's compadres again. excitement and the knowledge that jude visits here in a mere 2 weeks made our goodbye easier than it might have been. i arrived back to the embraces from 7 of my nearest and dearest in tues group.

right, finish unpacking. then bath, then bed.
