I'm home! →[More:]
I had a wonderful time in NYC, with my lovely boo, and all my friends. The flight was delayed, but the airline was kind enough to let me know earlier in the day, so I wasn't at the airport mid-evening, waiting around. As it happened, it was delayed about another 90 minutes past when they said it'd take off, but the flight was quiet, there was nobody sitting next to me and I could spread out and sleep.

I got home just in time to see the inauguration. Tomorrow is back to reality and work :-(

I met gaspode's beautiful babby, I saw everybody I wanted to see, we had a great meetup, and I lost three-and-a-half pounds. How, I don't know. All I did was eat. Despite the plummeting pound, I am not broke.

And I heard TPS and stynxno's great news. They knew I wouldn't tell, because I kept the Specklet/DonF wedding secret for months.

Well, the first load of laundry is nearly done, I need to get some dinner and there's a Man United game on TV tonight. The cats are happy to have me back so they can ignore me.

I wish I was still in NY with my boo.

Welcome home, sweetpea. You good secret-keeper, you.

Well I, for one, wish you a good homecoming and I hope that your trip over to NY was as sweet as usual. . .

It was so good to see you! We have eaten the twiglets.

I'm not sure whether to say welcome back or I'm sorry. Whichever is most appropriate, hear it from me. :-)

Welcome home, ej.

I'm thawing some of your meat as we speak.

What did you think of the Twiglets, gaspode? To me they're the crack cocaine of snacks.

The meat comment from jonmc is because I took him and pips a couple of steaks from Ottomanelli's. Jon did his meat face when I told him what was in the package.

They were rather more-ish, but I didn't really think they tasted like marmite. But I'm not sure what they did taste like.

I'm bummed I missed you. Between ill health and a misunderstanding with the phone company, I was incommunicado for weeks. Glad you had a pleasant stay, hope to see you next time around.

If I'd known you were bringing snacks from the UK, I'd have traveled up to NYC to introduce myself ... there's not much that I wouldn't do, to get some Walker's Worcester Sauce crisps ... :-)

Glad you had such a good time!

Too bad New York is so far away from NC. I'd love to see you one day.

If I ever make it across the pond, we need a minimeetup!

It was great to see you in NY!
Glad you are back safely and that you had a good time.

It was lovely having you visit! You fit so nicely on our couch! I already can't wait for spring...
