UK Part 1

Arrived safely am and installed in 84 Cleveland Road where the landlady keeps a typical establishment reflecting a cosy London townhouse lifestyle. Plush carpets, old bookshelves (self restraint!), leather armchairs sitting beside polished wooden bureaus and an upright piano which I'm also tempted to try out.

Am not looking forward to the course this weekend but am resigned to the fact that I DO need the practice and that I'll probably be the noobiest of all PACES candidates ever to be involved this late in the process, but never mind. I'll be as thick-skinned as I can and put in as much work as possible these next two weeks and we'll see how it goes. Hopefully the fat lady will leave her song till the very end.

The flight was really a bit long, even for me. 12 hours in a plane - 4 movies and 2 longish naps plus 2 meals - perfect DVT-genic material. No way I could do this for any length of time, UK, as much as I love coming back to you, I'm glad I'm that much nearer home nowadays.
