Currently sat in the dining room at home. There are flowers everywhere which hasn't helped my hayfever. I can hear my brother on the television aged 1 shouting wildly. In the corner, my sister's new hamster, which consequently explains the amount of 'duplo': my brother has been building mazes for her.
Barely made it to my train yesterday. Didn't realise how heavy my bags were and had 20 minutes to leg it from my house to the station. Literally got to the platform as the train pulled in. Read some journal articles on the train, but was pretty knackered.
I was expecting my brother to pick me up from the station, but instead was greeted by mum who told me that he had buggered off to Plymouth. Hopefully I'll see him again one day. Its nice being back here. It's been a while. Holly also came back yesterday from Norway, the first thing she said was that I looked brown. (She's currently my favourite sibling).
The pollen count is so high here though and I felt zombified this morning when I woke up. Spent the day, sorting fathers day things out and doing some last minute packing for the conference. Holly and I got bored so found a home movie of us when we were kids (For some reason I said 'cheeseburgers' a lot when I was a child).
At 7am tomorrow, I will be at the Porters Lodge in Aberystwyth awaiting a mini bus that will take me to Ynslas. Its going to be strange going back, as an outsider. Its also going to be a long day as I wont be finished til about 10 having been up since about 5. I've got a pretty whistle-stop tour ahead of me though as I drive off to Wales this evening.
Should be a laugh.
