Good morning, friends! I missed you.
My body thinks it's about 12:30, so I'm awake and sipping a cuppa tea. (Or a coopa tae, in Scotland.) (I didn't actually drink much tea in Britain - our friends are more coffee-drinkers, like us.)
We had such a wonderful, WONDERFUL time, despite travel tedium like missed connections and lost luggage. I will write more later, after settling in here at home. I will probably spread it out over several entries and several days, so feel free to skip :-) The posts will probably be more for my own enjoyment than anyone else's. You know how other people's travel photos can be a bit much?
The first news item I saw when I got online this morning was about the terrorist attack at the Glasgow Airport.
Five hours after we left it.
Um ...
...
Yes, I'm ...
...
... speechless.
And you know that doesn't happen very often.
I'm very grateful that no one was seriously injured or killed in the attack.
And I'm very grateful that the final hours of our trip weren't marred by something so horrible - crashes and screams and fire and evacuations.
Love, L
P.S. Please comment here with anything momentous! I may not get to the past two weeks' worth of friends' blogs.

I jotted down all the names of places that really struck my fancy. And there were so many more ...!
I'm looking forward to seeing your travel photos and hearing all about your grand adventures. Frist, though, I hope you manage to get some rest. :)
I've been writing my travel post all day in my head - now I just need to take them time to type it up. But that will take a little longer. :-D
What's new with you, Nancy Drew?
P.S. I meant to tell you, if I didn't before: please feel free to copy my little Nancy Drew icon and use it! You can find it on my user pics.
Can't wait to hear all about it! Is it back to work tomorrow or do you have a few days of recovery first?
zzzzzz
I looked for Wildfire at Midnight everywhere I went! Now that I'm home I'll be able to get it at the library.
Sounds like a wonderful time, I'll look forward to hearing more.
I can't wait to share all of my stories.
I'm happy to be home.
I've been buzzing with that weird sleep deprivation energy today.
Now I'm going to

Yes, I'm awake again.
It's going to be a long day.
Kelly, I can't remember: have you been to Britain?
Your Austen studies MUST take you there! You will love it more than I can express. Even the road signs are evocative, as you can see. I felt like writing a J.K. Rowling-esque novel just for the pleasure of using some of those names.
I've not been yet, but will have to go eventually. Hopefully the dollar will strengthen vis-a-vis the British pound by then!
As an example, we bought lunch for our friends R and M and their two daughters (and us) after a trip to the Norwich Castle. Nothing fancy - a Japanese chain restaurant with cafeteria-style seating.
$150.
*faints*
And aaaaaaaaaaaa on the five hours.
Can't wait to see pics! Post, post, post! Who cares about your ol' day job?
POST!
Is it only 7:30?
I've been awake since 2 a.m.

Oh! I've got to get dressed for work now! Wish me luck.
