(no subject)
This is me, back from Belgium. Still quite tired, and all chocolated out (for now). I have much chocolate for other people, though it has just occurred to me that it's lent. Also, lots of people aren't here.
I found it really hard to shake the feeling that I wasn't going back to my parents' on the coach home yesterday. Very grateful to see hills again. Watched Jurassic Park, The Italian Job and most of Toy Story on the coach - lots of delays.
Belgium was good. There will be photos. Mostly of buildings, I think. There was chocolate and waffles and pancakes and fruit beer (and other beer). I had a look round two museums while people were rehearsing, watched two concerts, and visited two places other than Bruges. I got hailed on and rained on and snowed on and sleeted on and occasionally beamd on by the sun, but only weakly. I wished I'd brought a different coat and bag. I bought loads of random souvenirs, some of which have been retconned into gifts (though I'm not sure for whom for all). I have done no reading. I was sick twice on the coach on the way down. I made new friends (mission accompished!) and shall be going out for a drink tonight.
I'm hungry, but I have a choice of chocolate cereal or potatoes. Or fruit beer. I know I have a stack of things to do soon, but no clue when or in what order. I am still terrified by my essays, and the stress is making me itchy again (mmm, bleeding legs). The burn on my hand is almost healed now (after more than a fortnight). I am disappointed that there was not more to read on my FList. I shall go into town soon. I shall regain my ability to form complex and compound sentences soon. My fingers are numb and I can't type.
ETA: Link to the facebook album containing mainly people pictures. It was hailing while they were playing on that bandstand. Also, does anyone know what's in Flemish Coffee(tm)? All the sites I've found are in dutch. Alternatively, can anyone translate Dutch or show me to a site which can?
