Hiya darlings.
I'm in on the challenge. I'm giving myself until next Tuesday to get rid of this fluff myself, remembering the lala rule of every
transatlantic flight and lounge visit brings a good 2# of weight onto the body that may or not remain.
However, I am going to journal (picked up a small one with all the saint's days in it in Rome
), that fits nicely in my bag to try and do more than journal in my head and on the computer.
Melissa -- stay warm and off the roads. Even coming home last night we saw some bad accidents.
I had a nice trip, had a hard time relaxing due to lack of communication from our dog sitter (grr, everything is okay though), worrying about the plants in the 15 degree weather ect. However, Rome continues to enchant me, every time I go. I love that city with all my heart. We managed a short day trip to Florence and it was very lovely and sunny and we had a nice walk in the Boboli Gardens.
We spent three days in London/Oxford goofing around, I managed to avoid most of the big sales, but we did have nice visit to DP's aunties in Oxford and a big Christmas like lunch and visit followed by more of the same in London with mine and a visit with my friend from DC who was in London for a few days.
We spent one afternoon in Brussels on our way back. DP went chocolate shopping. I bought a box of macaroons (my faves) and will eat them slowly. In fact, I will foist all but the fruit ones off to others.
However, other than eating at my favorite restaurant in Brussels, I was happy to go back to our hotel and sleep. I was soo tired from Rome.
I did take some pictures, they aren't all that interesting, but if I can figure out where to post them, I will.
