Saying goodbye
Sunday, 31 October 2004
Over the past two weeks we've had to say alot of good byes and it's been really hard. It's strange saying good bye to good friends and family knowing you're not going to see them for a year, it never seems to end up quite as dramatic as you think it should be. Still, that's what we've been doing recently along with running around like mad bastards trying to sort our shit out. Very tiring and all quite emotional.
We must of been having leaving beers every night for about a month now and my liver is already threatening to stay in the UK. I think Im going to have to feed it some drugged milk then lug it on the plane while it's alseep, the next thing it'll know is waking up in a Tokyo bar with me about to down a load of sake. Wa ha ha.
We also had much trad-style English fodder, sausage and mash at the Xland's, sunday lunch at the Traynor's and finally a good solid Midlands balti with the Stafford fam.
That's now just about over and tomorrow we are returning London with just our backpacks. I hate mine already, my big trousers weigh an absolute ton. In London, we are hitting the pub for one last time for a final booze with the London people then we're off the next day. Finally, we'll be going.
So there you go, a slightly boring and earnest entry. Sorry about that, it'll be much more interesting from here on in. On the other hand, have a look at Bryony's log, she's doing the Michael Palin thang in Tibet and has put a flag on Mount Everest for us. That's well good.
Farewell, all you people. See you soon.

If I'd known it was traditional English fodder you were after I would have made shepherd's pie... Don't forget you're also turning your back on such traditional Englishness as kebab shop fights, football hooligans and Judge Jules...it's not all bad!
