return from holiday
20 Sep '04, 00:00
Got back from Cornwall yesterday morning at 12:30am after a 7 hour drive.
Not too pleased to be back. Chelmsford and Essex seem pretty dulled compared to the West Country - no hills, no blue seas, no sunset over the horizon, no winding roads - I could probably go on.
It certainly doesn't seem like a week has gone past though. It went by much too quickly. Yesterday it didn't even feel like 24 hours ago we were still in Cornwall and wandering around the Eden Project - seemed a lot more distant.
Oh well.
I'll do a full account soon complete with hundreds of photographs and a video or two!

Kate and me are going on holiday tomorrow!!! WOOHOO
About time we got away for a bit. Last break was back in June and that was only a few days. This is for a full week.
We're headed back to Cornwall again and hoping the weather will be reasonable. It's not looking too hopeful, but as long as we get a few days of sun that will be nice.
I get to borrow works digital camera too which I have to pick up from Maldon tomorrow. It's going to be an early start and a long drive - 6 to 8 hours I reckon.
On a different note, I got my book at last (see entry 32)! Actually, it arrived on Monday 6th September but it wouldn't fit through the letter box so I had to collect it from the sorting office. Finally got round to doing so today.
Kate's also had her car in for repair after that knock back in July - about bloody time you might say. I've been the taxi service for her the last 2 days. Repair company did a good job though. Looks as good as new - but then I guess that's the whole point :-)
Not too much else happening lately. I got an ID badge for work which keeps falling off it's clip, and I got a nasty bite on my arm. Must have been a big thing coz it has swollen up a lot, and gone very red and hot. Starting to get better now though - was a day or 2 ago that happened. Oh and I had my hair cut yesterday evening. Lots of comments from work today - it's a lot shorter than it was! Dare say it'll be noticeable on the pictures I'll take on holiday.
