back in the ussr...i mean...back in the uk

well, i've now returned. i'm not really going to say much about the week except that it was incredibly hard to leave and i really didn't want to, but as my grandma said...life goes on. on the positive side of things i did get to spend a lot of time with my family, particularly my grandma. we talked about all sorts of things and i learned more about their life over here in england, which was really actually quite nice.

i've been in coventry since i've been back apart from a few hours in liverpool to refuel and repack. i missed out on the scott matthews gig in liverpool when i was away, so davoud and dipak kindly went on a mission to get me a ticket to the show in birmingham. it was definitely worth the trip. we also went to a wee gig in leamington spa last night. i've probably been relaxing a little too much and merely staring outside at the beautiful, cold days rather than enjoying their splendor.

going to jump back into the pool tomorrow with davoud...gotta date with some oreo cookies and milk on saturday before dinner at sapporo and a show at the philharmonic on sunday afternoon. culture vultures indeed.

...and then everything will go back to the routine on monday. *sigh*

Scott Matthews was a great gig, he brought the funny and the tunes. If you haven't caught him on his current tour or picked up his CD "Passing Stranger" then you are missing one of the best debut albums to surface in 2006. Photos will be online soon as will the ones from Jen Lexmond.

The oreo cookies were yummy... I am thinking that a business to import this "food group" into the UK would not go amiss...
