ready, steady, move...

I've had some time to rest and get my body clock back on track since I've moved. Since landing back in the UK several weeks ago, I've been experiencing nostalgia to be back home in familiar surroundings but my body and mind have been operating 5 hours behind everyone here, on DC time. On top of that I've had the flu the minute I got here and was moping around the house for 2 weeks! But I'm happy to report all is well and good. I've had time to catch up with the family and home-cooked meals. One misses the most mundane things when you've been away from it for a while..

On a different note, England has gone royally mad, over William and Kate's wedding that is. They are due to get married tomorrow (Friday 29 apr), which has been declared a bank holiday, but celebrations have been going on for weeks now, specially outside Buckingham palace and central London. People have been setting up camping sites to stay overnight, during the day it's human traffic and the news is covering nothing but the wedding. The country is in mayhem. Everything for sale is wrapped in the union jack including food! But it's exciting times I suppose. There are local celebrations happening across the country as well with each town and village organising something for the occasion.
Our town centre here in Leicester has been beautifully decorated and a big screen has been set up in the town centre to show the wedding as it happens.
Should be a festive time :)
