Baggage

Packing for my trip to Malta tomorrow morning brought back weird memories. Even weirder ones were formed today, however, as I took Thor downstairs where he's going to stay while I'm away so that he gets to see people. Looking at the empty space, it feels like he's died or something. I have to keep reminding myself that, should I want to give him cuddles, he's only downstairs.

I doubt I'll sleep well tonight, the absence of his sound coupled with the new-found nerves at flying alone from a much bigger airport and without being dropped off at the airport door will be the cause of that. For the last two nights I've had flight related nightmares.

My paranoia is not enough to stop me though, I mean Heathrow is just an airport, and I'm told it's sign-posted to infinity. As soon as I'm on the coach tomorrow I can see myself turning away from nerves and going into "it's an adventure" mode, just as I did when half the tube stations Mark and I were meant to be travelling to were closed over the winter break.

And once I'm in the plane, well I've done that all before.

In other news, my Wii version of Animal Crossing arrived today; after Hayley and I had a dive into the DS version yesterday, we've both decided to get the Wii version too. I had forgotten how much I enjoyed playing it. I'm also making steps to join the Wii to the internet so that me and Hayley can use Wii speak (which came with Animal Crossing).

I'll leave you with some pictures I took of some of the weird things my neighbours have said to me.

What an introduction

Getting a bit carried away there Blathers?
