I want to go home now please


I know that I have Karen coming out to visit in a couple of days, but that doesn’t help the fact that at the moment all I can think about is the fact that I want to go home. I’m jealous that Nick is heading back in the next month or so for stag and wedding plans for friends, but I’ll be stuck out here in Singapore all the way through to July. He seems to think that it’ll be a manic whistle-stop tour with loads to do and no time to do it in, but I would still much rather be doing that than facing down another four or so months before I get to go back. And even then I’m only around for a week before I have to come back again for the rest of the year. I’m not very excited about life today.
            If I were in London at the moment, this would be one of those weekends where I cancel all my plans and just get the train home on Friday afternoon. Sadly, the thousands of pounds and long-haul flight that would be required to do the same from here this weekend is a bit of a hindrance.

My lovely girls on the trusty Number 16 sofa 

I had a brief (drunken on one side) Skype session with Debbie and Erin when I got to work this morning. I was at 10am, waiting to have a conference call with my boss while they were at 2am working out whether or not they needed to open another bottle of wine. I know which side of the call I would rather have been on…
I want to go home and be by the seaside. I want to go and be in grotty London where the weather is normal and the people are nice in a gross, miserable London way.  I don’t want to be in Singapore now. I want to go home.
