The last Saturday in England

Sad, but true. 

And I would just like to state, for the record, that when you listen to Harry Potter soundtracks while strolling about Surbiton and Kingston, life just becomes a million times more epic! 

Rounded out my British signature edition Harry Potter covers with the purchase of Philosopher's Stone and Chamber of Secrets.  Now I have all 7! Yay!!!! The beautiful thing is that I only paid for half of them...the bookstore had a "3 for the price of 2" sale.  w00t!  Tried Costa coffee today...just had a red berry fruit chiller, but it was yummy.  Bought a couple of things on a whim.  Nothing huge or spectacular.

Gregg's is dangerously close to becoming my new guilty pleasure.

Tonight, for dinner, I made myself tomato and mozzarella tortelloni.  Delish, but I am so full!!!! Drank juice out of a wine glass, because I can. 

And apparently Amy Winehouse is dead.  Never heard her music but she was seriously troubled, that's all I know.  To round it off I know exactly where she died; Camden.  Just off a popular tube station of mine.  It's crazy how certain stuff hits you close to home, no matter where in the world you are.  I don't think I would be blogging about this if I was at home, but I'm here.  Right down the road, quite literally. 

Oh, one more thing, and this goes to any readers/followers of mine: Please think good thoughts/pray for the people of Norway.  It makes me sad to see such peaceful nations victimized by unfortunate acts of violence.  I'm part Scandinavian as well; I probably had family from there.  Definitely saying a prayer for Norway tonight.

But, alas, it is the last Saturday in England.  This time next week I will most likely be on a plane heading back to the fifty-nifty United States.  I am astounded by how fast the time has gone.  Astounded and, perhaps, a little saddened as well.  I've met so many great people here.  Will be hard to say good-bye.  But I'm not going to worry about that right now!  I still have another seven days, after all.  :)

I suppose I should start doing something productive, since I've had two days off and absolutely nothing to show for it.   But Whose Line is winning this battle again.  Cheers!

blessings, H
