I picked up my generic takeaway and stepped out into the cold.
I passed the generic blinking neon lights, and smiled at the generic saturday night partiers
I smelled the generic fast-food shops as the generic cars splashed in the puddles on the road.
A generic saturday night.

I had a really bizarre experience the other night. I'd just been out for dinner with some friends, and walking back to the station a girl walked right in front of me with her boyfriend. I recognised her just as she crossed in front of me, she didnt notice me, but she was a girl I went to school with. I havent spoken to her...

Ok, it's colder today...

And BA strike is off! YAY! Looks like christmas might not be at Heathrow after all!

I made okonomiyaki today! delicish!

It also snowed, and I am the coldest cold person ever! Especially as our heating takes ages to come on.

Only a week until the flight to Cali! Hoping BA isnt still striking.

Im bored of the 9-5. I want to run away again. Should I really be bored after 3 months? It usually takes me at least a year...
That round the world route is still beckoning.
