aloo gobi funsters,
this is SERIOUSLY the ONLY group email i am going to send you and i'm sending it to you all because i want you to know how absolutely superfantastic my leaving aus was. totally couldn't have been better!!
sqodger says i'm a serial goodbye-er and what can i say but...yea?! i am but only coz you're so great to say goodbye to...um...hang on...i think that came out wrong! you're great to say hello to too i promise!! but i just felt so...yea, loved. by ALL the phone calls and ALL the company.
RIGHT, enough gushing.
am now in birmingham and using my lovely laptop at a cafe that has wireless. have sent spunkytrunks (that's christian, the hot water service for those who don't know and SHOULD!) home for the power plug coz i'm running out of battery. christian is a fantastic host, i tell ya. cannot be faulted in ANY. WHICH. WAY. BUT BUt But but...i guess i should start at the start.
yah, plane was shitty. fullstop. mumbo n sqodge: MAKE SURE YOU HAVE ORDERED VEGETARIAN FOOD or live on bread, salad (if lettuce can be called salad) and peanuts for two days like i did. yup, shite. oh, and MAKE damn sure you've got ear plugs and LOTS of sleeping drugs. hokay, sermon over.
had a fun night in tokyo. didn't make it to the big smoke coz my "contact" turned out to be Useless with a capital U. but didn't really matter, me and cameron from north dandenong (all bright eyed and excited that he was, having never left aus before) found ourselves...well, what do YOU think? a bar of course! and what do they have at bars? well, BEER of course!! and in tokyo...they also have strange old men that try and read your palm but can't speak english so you just have to guess if it's good news or bad by the looks on their faces. it was wicked! i will try and upload some photos for youse all today too.
yea, so narita was fine n good. then got to london and it was about one or two am melbourne/tokyo time so i was pretty much a zombie freak but just got me straight on a train to bognor and met era (my cousin), her son and hubby and went out for an indian meal.
bognor was as good as bognor could possibly have been. was really really super to see era and victor again, typical insane eight year old that he is, and yea, well, y'all know it but i was REALLY hangin to meet up with christian.
so, on friday, after beer n chips at the pub in bognor, i jumped on a train for about 45 minutes and was met by the beanie clad joogling star 'imself. and things could, quite simply, not have been better since then. the trip to birmingham took about three more hours in the car, then another hour on a train, then a fifteen or twenty minute bus ride and THEN we just got stuck into the beer didn't we? and the absolut vanilla that i bought duty free.
okay, i'm not telling you the sordid details!! saturday night we had a raucous debaucherous night out which you will see from the pics (there's links to my pics at the bottom of my blog page and there's a link to the blog at the bottom of this email, right?!).
sunday we had a sunday drive and a walk along the muddy canal with christian's parents. his ma is superlovely and his dad, well, he was nice but i don't think he's a very happy man and i know too much not so nice stuff about him to have liked him much anyway. yea, but it
was a good day and an exhaustingly hungover day and last night was a
very quiet one.
today? it's snowing out there. cold, yea. but as you well know, it suits me JUST FINE. so, from here on in i will most definitely reply to yer emails (coz i love youse) but i wont send a group mail so please read my blog and keep in touch. love ya and miss ya, leonie xx
oh yea, and you can still text me on my melbourne number if you want. i'll let you know when i get a new number in vienna...
xx
