...sorry I've been away but with the holidays and air travel woes and having caught a nasty cold and getting back into the swing of things here in Edinburgh I haven't had much time to write. Anyway, here are a short series of updates on my life since I went radio silent.
Before I left Edinburgh we had a Christmas dinner at the dining hall complete with Christmas crackers and free whiskey (everyone was very jolly). I learned about yet another word that has a different meaning here than it does at home (technically its several words, but you know what I mean) pigs in a blanket, which at home are mini hot dogs wrapped in puff pastry, here means sausages wrapped in bacon (the UK may be the only country that can compete with the US in terms of love of bacon).
I then had the pleasure of waking up at 5 am to make my flight (it was reeeeeeally early, I don't like 5 am very much) and then remaining awake for the next 22 hours (I was lots of fun to be around for a while there). Thankfully, I got to spend most of those hours in the company of the lovely and sympathetic Hannah in fabulous New York City so that was lots of fun.
Then I headed home for the holidays, it was absolutely fabulous to see everyone and get to hang out with my lovely family, even if we had to drive for ages through a Noreasterner to get there (there were moments where I was quite jealous of my friends who went to Dubai for their holidays).
Anyway, sorry its been forever since we talked, I missed you!
Love ya!
Hi Eliza,
ReplyDeleteGlad you're back on track. Lots of snow and ice here in NW Connecticut. I spent two nights in your room in New Haven. I had an appointment in the city and because of the weather I stayed with your family. Lovely! Georgia made muffins for breakfast! Her school has been closed for ages because of the weather.
Hope that the ice and snow are gone froAnd I hope that the second term( is that what they call it?) is going well.
Love,
Grandma
