I'm feeling rather 'meh' at present. There are a number of factors contributing to this malaise, some of which I'll list here:
1) looking fwd to returning to the UK for the first time in 3.5 years;
2) re-reading Bill Bryson's Notes From a Small Island in anticipation of (1) above;
3) looking forward to the forthcoming Ashes - ironically to be held in Aus - but anticipating seeing some friends who are coming over;
4) taking street view tours of my former home in the UK.
There are some very specific things I miss about the UK, I anticipate being able to have my fill, be satisfied, then repeat in about 2-3 yrs time.
Specifically:
1) old friends;
2) pubs with history; that
3) serve proper draught ale not chilled to within an inch of it's life;
4) lush, verdant, countryside
5) Waitrose;
6) The Tube;
7) The Guardian in print form.
That'll do me. There's things I won't have missed. But I'm prepared to overlook those.
