I’m going home in two weeks time. For a two week break. Then, just to clarify (which I didn’t on facebook!), I’m coming back to SL for another four months after my break.
Here’s the list of things I’m looking forward to:
1) Spending time with my husband.
2) Meeting new babies and new bumps.
3) Seeing friends and family.
4) Steak, sweet potato, broccoli, courgettes.
5) Andy’s cooking generally.
6) Fresh milk.
7) Turning on a tap and water coming out of it.
8) Flushing a toilet.
9) Having a hot bath (although I will feel very guilty about the amount of water it uses!)
10) Falling asleep on the sofa at home.
11) Spending time with my husband.
12) Knowing that the light will come on when I switch it and that the fridgewill have kept the food cold all day.
13) Cycling in Oxford.
14) Going to Christchurch Cathedral to listen to the choir, to admire the beauty, to reflect, to pray for the babies in SL and to regain some perspective on things.
15) Going to Tescos – although I think I may be a bit shell-shocked at the choice!
16) Getting my hair cut and wearing my hair down (I always wear it up in a bun cause its so hot and sweaty otherwise!)
17) Seeing Beautiful Scotland.
18) Spending time with my husband.
19) Wearing my engagement ring.
20) Printing out some photos of SL to give to my colleagues, neighbours and the little kids who live at the hospital (yes, there is a family who live on the hospital compound).
21) Clean streets, with pavements and no open sewers.
22) Wandering around bookshops.
23) Spending time in nice coffee shops (actually I can do that here – we have Bliss and Oasis which could both rival any coffee shop back home).
24) Did I mention spending time with my husband?
