Day 19 - Flying Shoes

AM

Got confused this morning because the clocks had gone back. Cleared up my crossed wires about my flight times anyway. We are now 5 hours apart again - but not for long baby because by the time I am typing this tomorrow I will be back in Blighty and en route for the biggest snuggle ever. This is the longest we've ever been apart baby girl - and we've made it.

Today is really bittersweet, I feel sad packing up my case but lovingly laying all the bits and pieces I have got to bring back to show you I felt reassured that it's going to be okay. I'll worry about and miss my Mum but I'll be back soon - and next time with you in tow and then we'll have the party of the century.

I am feeling much better this morning - as I didn't feel well for most of yesterday. I am glad  that it's shifted now. Went out for breakfast to a place called 50's Diner - it had loads of black and white photos of old Hollywood stars on the walls and was kitted out like an old fashioned diner - right up my street. I bit the bullet and ordered a waffle and it was gigantic but I ate every bit up because it was delicious. Score one to us! I hope I can take you to a diner when you come out and we can freely pick whatever the hell we like off the menu and enjoy it! It is far from the most important thing in life, but there is a lot to be said for enjoying food.

I am glad you're getting to spend time with your family today for your Mum's birthday - should make the time pass quicker for you too. I hope you had a lovely time with her and she had a lovely day. Seemed to be doing if Facebook was anything to go by.

I did a good job of managing to pack my case - though admittedly it's nowhere near as neat as you had sent me off with. In my defense I do have a lot more to bring back than I brought. I am a tad worried about the baggage limit but surely I can't have bought more than 7kgs of stuff ... lol ... who am I kidding?

My flight takes off at 10:45pm local time so 3:45am your time so you will soundly sleep through my journey with a bit of luck - and as will I as I plan to knock myself out into a practical coma haha. I WILL sleep - I need to be alive and kicking for when I come back!

This afternoon Mum and I lit a fire in the garden but soon retreated as it was so cold. I'm going to smell nicely of bonfire on my flight - be a nice reminder of the afternoon. I've put on many, many layers so I can sleep all toasty - pray for me that I get a window seat! I introduce Bonbon to Apps for Cats and now have her photograph to add to my collection of cats with iPad hehe. Bonbon didn't really get it - she just kind of looked at me as if to say "I can't eat this - I am not interested in it".

The last day of holidays is always weird - kind of feel in limbo - not quite knowing what to do - the travelling and goodbyes looming over. Mum and I have agreed that she will drop me at the door of the airport and not come in - less painful that way. I have you to look forward  to coming home to but it's obviously going to be a lot more difficult for her. I'm glad we went to the Beer Store as well this afternoon and took a load of empties back because it meant she got a free case of beer in return - and hopefully she can enjoy those this evening and get a good nights sleep. She's back at work tomorrow too and I told her she has lots of big things to be doing very soon- she will be busy and I'll be back before she knows it. Time went really fast this morning and now it's slowed right down. It's always such a bittersweet day.

I am afraid I am not going to be able to write to you about my evening as I will have set off for the airport and I highly doubt I will be able to pick up free wifi. I want you to be able to have something to read everyday so I am going to post this now before I leave... and the next time you hear from me I will be back on your side of the Atlantic Ocean :) .

So I'll be tying on my flying shoes then bbg.
Day 19 = a success.
