Ok, maybe just one

I lied, I'm posting a photo. Pikkewyn!! (That's penguins in Afrikaans.) I can't wait for you guys to see some of my wildlife pics that I took with my SLR! And I still have a couple of rolls to develop yet.

Back in the UK

We landed yesterday morning around 7am, following a 12-hour flight where I did not sleep at all. So essentially I pulled an all-nighter. Neither did Wickus, and believe me, the two of us trying to navigate the tube back home was a comedy of errors, as neither of us could think straight. I think we finally got into bed at 11am and were knocked out for 5 hours. W bounced back, but I was a complete zombie all day. And only better by about half today, as I made many various small and big mistakes at work. However, I did manage to get through belly dancing class after work, and felt energized for about an hour afterward. I have re-gained 4 pounds as I did not regulate much at all for those 2 weeks, although I think I should be able to lose them again rather easily. And as is generally my luck, there has been beautiful hot sunny weather here in the UK whilst I was gone, and I have returned to gray skies, rain, and cooler temps. The weather cooperated in South Africa for about 2/3 of our trip though, so I suppose I can't really complain. I'm rather depressed at the moment, and would happily turn around and go straight back if someone would just pay for my ticket and give me lots more annual leave ;-)

I am busy putting tons of photos on facebook tonight, and will pick and choose some to put on here as well. But not tonight.
