homesick

[mopani]

Sometimes it comes on me in waves when I try to sleep, when I try to work or prepare food. Images fly in my head of edinburgh's grey stone and moss, of the islands in the forth, of my parents, brothers and friends, a riot of solid, genuine, clever happy people with good jokes and kindly eyes, parties in the forest with multicoloured stripy knitwear

Well, you have the loving partner and you have said he is willing to move. So it's not impossible that you could return home from exile as Mopani-triumphant with Russian prince (or bear) in tow :)

ha, thanks for the cheer-up! its not impossible, but it really doesnt look likely. I am trying to come back for as long as possible over chistmas and new year; it is taking all my cunning getting off work :)

steph we all miss you too, so does the cat the cat the cat. i've just moved back home, set up in theo's old room. i tell you it was a horrible gut-wrenching feeling being home but sleeping in someone elses bed. but i think i'm settling in now, just getting used to being totally alone - i have no friends here, precious few left in edinburgh. i'm at home and i feel homesick. not sure if i need a hug or a slap.
can't wait to have you back with me.
