Update!!

Well, the last two weeks have been mad. I arrived back in the UK to freezeing rain (crappy but effectively reminds me why I don't live in this country), I kind of miss the dust and heat of kuwait! And I definitely miss my friends. I'm strangely detached from everything thats been my life for so long, esp "the man". For someone who was such a big part of my life for so long I'm quite numb and unemotional about him considering I may not see him again for a long time, if ever??

I've been chasing paperwork both at home and in London and finally got my VISA for vietnam and documents attested to yesterday. I thought the ministries in Kuwait were innefficient- oh no the UK FCO is way worse- 2.5 hours to get 5 little bits of paper stuck on and the best part is they charge £27 per document so I walked out £135 lighter!!

It gave me a good excuse to potter round the shops and spend too much money on shoes and undies. Girls if you are ever in London you have to go and be measured at Rigby and Peller, they make the Queen's Bra's. Not a tape measure in sight but dammit you walk out well supported, lifted and separated! Not cheap though but definitely worth it, however, the photo of the Queen and Prince Philip in the fitting room was a bit weird when your standing in your smalls!!

I also met up with the guy who I was trying to move to Honkers with, we did lunch. All a little strange but at least civilised and he carried my bags round selfridges so I can't complain too much. This has been deemed the Summer of catching up with people I have lost touch with. Tonight I'm off to Bristol to see my best friend from Uni and his wife, will all be a little strange cos at uni he was gay! Also hoping to organise a reunion for my other Uni friends. We're going to stay in halls of residence and go to the places we used to get pissed in and behave like a bunch of idiot students- I can see traffic cones in my future!!

The road is calling...
