[Monday 15th May]
Maybe it's just because it was a Monday, but I think I was starting to feel a pang of home sickness today. I think I've caught a bit of a cold, so I wasn't feeling 100% at work. Lunch was nice though - I took the leftovers from the previous night's meal and heated them up in the microwave at the office. Even reheated the previous day's dinner tasted rather good.

Anyway, I left work "early", and felt kind of out of sorts on the train ride home - very concious for the first time in a while that I was a foreigner. I got back home and found myself wanting to listen to BBC radio over the web. Yes it all smacked of home sickness. I have experienced this before just after seeing someone from the UK, I suppose it is easier under normal circumstances to just not think about it...

Well I'm sure tomorrow will be a brighter day!

John, I am TOTALLU drunk and DRUGGED (I'll try to write something about it tomorrow...) but I can tell you to hold on and keep going the on the road that you took almost 1 year ago (mayne more actually)... Sorry would write something more but I am in no state to do that!

I think you are suffering from eating too much cheese.

I assume, Johns' mum, you mean John has eaten too much cheese, rather than Lox has overdosed on a concoction of particularily fine Irish Cheddar and a rather salty Ricotta Salat to get him into his current state of unawaredness :)

Mmmmmmmm. Homesick. I (used to) know the feeling. I've been away from home for 11 years, so I got used to it. Fact is, now that I have a child, my home is here, with him and my wife.
Would you fancy something from here (France)? What would please you?

Never mind John, Sheri, send me a bunch of radishes! Always my first purchase in a French supermarket or open air market.
And yes, I wouldn't dare comment on Lorenzo's diet after he put me and John so forcefully right about the cooking of spaghetti in my own kitchen. (Love you really, Lorenzo!)

Well I learnt a lot from your cooking though, I don't think that I can say anything wrong about John's parents skills, they are both GREAT. It is a gene that runs in the family, I have to admit that John is not bad either, actually he's quite good... Shame that he's a veggie, he could do marvels with whiskey and meat in my opinion (as in whiskey sauces of course)...

Talking about completely unrelated things, I have had a look quite some time ago into the silk yarn cone thing, but my company uses everything so we don't have any spare... Sorry... Maybe I can interest you with some plain fabric like las time? Let me know!

'Mum': You have, I believe, a secondary house in the south-west of France. Where about?

Sheri: actually Mum was just renting a place down there for a while.

We're not exactly a "second home" sort of a family - most of us are struggling enough to pay for the first one!
