early exit

A 4:30/5am departure wouldn't quite have been so bad last week. In fact, some of our Camino dorm friends courageously left the refuge at the crack of dawn to avoid the sun. This week, however, it seems a little cruel on the body to get up so early. But no pain no gain: easyjet guarantees cheap prices and red-eye specials. I took mom&dad to the airport this morning for the flight I'd be on just 24 hours later. No way could I have made a Friday morning flight. In fact, even so, the laptop comes with me on this trip so I can finish off urgent work. Arg!

Where I'm headed, the grass may look greener than on the photo here - in fact, does the grass ever go brown in the UK? First time I have been back since graduating in 2003 - yikes, I'm nervous. Maybe I'm just nervous about the "bad taste" theme party for my auntie. You mean, we're supposed to embarrass ourselves just for the sake of it? Actually, as one challenging week comes to a close, I think I could use a good laugh before starting the next. That, and a nice Camino devotional, eh Leens? :)

.. enough for now dudes, I've gotta go to bed if I want to be up at 4:30. Back on Sunday night.
