In the big storm the UK had in December, a part of Greg's roof blew away. The roofing guys are here fixing it.

There are 3 of them here.

They're all singing the Wombles song together.

It's so fucking wholesome.

Each time I'm in the UK I plan on writing a daily run down of the things we did and then never do more than just the first few days.

I always feel like it's a failure on my part, because it's something that I want to do but then don't.. which my brain picks up and runs with the story of being a failure, being lazy, being stupid etc.

But, I think what actually happens is that for the few weeks I'm here I step into being in the moment more than I usually am at home. So I'm not inclined to recount the day's experiences for posterity, because I actually experienced them and don't need to. It's an interesting shift in focus, especially as someone who often feels detached and distant from myself.

Half way.. sitting in the airport in Shanghai, waiting for the connecting flight to London.

The first leg wasn't the worst flight I've ever had, but it definitely wasn't the best.

Nearly there...

On my way... Sydney for 2 days, then London!

I just got into an argument with a woman at the station who was yelling about phoning someone to complain that the train has been cancelled (there's a bus running instead) - "the courts said they weren't allowed to strike!"

Nobody said that the train was cancelled because of industrial action.

Solidarity with all striking workers, not just when it's convenient.

Super proud of my bestie Scott for participating in and completing the Ride Across Indiana today. This was at about mile 110 out of 160 at the stop in Greenfield.

Greg (@sinplicity), his wife, their friend, and I are watching #TheLovedOnes. Greg and I have both seen it numerous times, but his wife and their friend haven't seen it before.

I love introducing people to this film! (I was the one who first showed it to Greg years ago). It's got that raw brutality that is a trademark of Australian horror, but there are moments of such subtle brilliance.. like in the dinner table scene where Bright Eyes is introduced, and Lola has milk on her top lip highlighting her childlike immaturity.

It's a really clever film.
