The week has passed under a blurry high speed sleeping marathon star and I've mastered the art of gloriously productive procrastination - retraced a significant number of old acquaintances (dear Lord, thank You for the insemination of Mark Zuckerberg), spent a stupid amount of time putting things on..such as cleaning, packing, organizing, writing letters to people who have helped me over the last two years in UK, finishing "Nineteen eighty-four", getting or making some leaving prezzies for the attic mates and so on..
Instead..I've been thinking "huh..tomorrow..." and closed my eyes..
I was hoping this week to be very productive, cos Hershe is away in Amsterdam..presumably smoking her brains out ...but ..NO. Nothing.
I miss my camera...feel a bit disabled without it.
Been checking out various ways to travel around Europe and found another interesting idea - cycling through Europe.
