I can't believe how long it has taken for me to post this. I've been so busy with work since I got back that I've not had much time left. It didn't help that I had four weeks to write up in one go, rather than writing a week at a time as I do when I'm in Boston. Anyway, it is finally all done and I've written a post per week, rather than putting ( Read more... )

I know it's taken ages for me to do a post to show off the photos that I took while Michael was over here but I've been so busy with work since I got back that it's been hard finding the time. Besides, I took about 260 photos which is about 250 more than I was expecting. I mean, I live here, what on earth did I find to take photos of? Apart from ( Read more... )

It's amazing how much work I can get done when I don't have to read 150 e-mails and/or schlep up and down the country. Especially as I'm only contracted to a certain very small amount of hours in a week. I actually did over 20 hours extra in the week before last thanks to doing all the anti-homophobic bullying workshops. Anyway, I do not have ( Read more... )

When Michael and I were looking for somewhere to stay, we didn't have a great many requirements. The only things we really needed was a reasonable price, a good location, a washing machine because we were going to be there for 4 weeks, and internet access. After some searching, I found the self catering studio apartment that we ended up staying ( Read more... )

As this was to be Michael's last week here, I wanted to make sure that we got as much done as possible and that Michael saw everything he wanted to see. It wasn't going to be easy, especially with colds and the weather to contend with as well!

I'm back at home. Well, I've been back for a few hours now but I thought I should probably let you all know. Michael is still en route to Boston but I'm sure there'll be a post from him at whatever time he gets in to announce his safe arrival ( Read more... )

Michael's third week here began with him full of a cold and ended with me being full of a cold after he'd so lovingly decided to share his germs. Despite us both feeling rather crappy and under the weather, we still managed to get out quite a bit.

Michael arrived on January 12th, so these are his adventures from his first week here in England. It's not a long post, it's just ... detailed.

I know this is several days late, but I've not been able to post anything before now. Michael arrived here safe and sound on Monday, although for several worrying moments, I was beginning to wonder if he was going to be allowed into the country at all. I'm not sure what the problem was, though it seems to have been his youthful looks combined ( Read more... )

I've been IM'ing with Michael since he left the house several hours ago - yay for his phone having AIM on it. He's finally boarded the plane and just said that they'd made the announcement to switch off all phones so that means he should be taking off soon. It's kind of unreal, I can't quite believe that he's really going to be on his way over ( Read more... )
