Yesterday was a funny one. Cups of tea and laughing with Emma and Hannah, and some new travelling plans (Czech Republic in July) - it's always the old friends who are somehow still the closest, no matter how far you drift. Then pub with Jay and Rosie; discussions about aliens and dreams and chicks vs. ducklings...
Today was a wet one. But only weather-wise. Tutorial with Carrie went well; seems I have the measure of this Sudden Prose nonsense after all:
"To Those of You That I Have Inadvertently Blanked in the Past,
I am sorry. I did not mean it. At least I did not mean it meanly - when you sailed past me, serenely, in your Land Rover Discovery, and I was somewhere else entirely. And you so pleased to see me.
No amount of frantic waving, honking or yelling could get me to look around and, let’s face it: we both ended up looking a little foolish. You probably more so. I am a serial blanker, you see – you weren’t the first, you won’t be the last, but you can call yourself the best if it makes you feel better.
Now fuck off and leave me alone."
Tomorrow will be a tiring one. I'm travelling to Amsterdam until Sunday to see all the folks I met in Istanbul during my time there - can't wait to see if there's more to the place than smoking and cycling - although I'm sure there'll be a fair bit of that too. Also really looking forward to seeing this bunch of people with whom I have such a strong, strange connection; under any other circumstances, I doubt we'd ever have met. Yet, after 5 months travelling and living together in Turkey, we developed a pretty amazing bond with each other. I'm hoping we can all just pick up where we left off.
