happy returns vs no return


greetings, people of the internet.
i am back from my trip to england. finally i return to my blog. the incessant ramblings of a confused and ageing man.
so what has been happening? to be honest, i'm not actually too sure. not much, event-wise. though i did see some part of the whale saga. i saw the barge fly by with the whale atop. but not longer after this i found out it had died. small wonder, under the circumstances. one can only hope that next time they'll have a better idea of what to do. though when next time will be is hard to say as there hasn't been a whale sighted in the last century in the thames until last weekend. but it wasn't done well, despite the best intentions. they spent three days scaring the crap out of the poor thing, surrounding it with boats and flashing lights and then when its nerves were shot to pieces they managed to scoop it onto a boat. it was already too late by then. i said from the start they should have tranquilised it and carried it back to the sea. but i'm no marine expert. so maybe that wouldn't work. but maybe it wouldn't have been any worse than giving it the experience of being in the world's scariest underwater nightclub.
my detox.... has been going ok. but no one's told me how well i'm looking. though that may be just british reserve (i like to think so). i have cheated though. one day i was going cold turkey for chocolate and didn't make it to the other side. the fear got to me. but after eating it i felt this weird sugar rush and then moodiness afterwards. so i'll try to avoid sugar where possible.
but anyway... i feel good. so that must be something.
haven't seen much of the news recently so will have to get back to you all on that one. no doubt more lies and bombs.

love each other
