There's a tune for this heat wave

Random Return Notes

1. As the big metal bird was doing its last landing manoeuvres, all lights stayed off indoors; and I could notice the real tiny flesh-and-blood bird out the window - lost in a world of big metal birds unlike itself. How does this happen? It's the first time I see lost birds on the airport.

2. The following day it snowed: it was the winter's first snow -I was told- and I appreciated the gift. I did not however appreciate the -12/-15 degrees difference between my point of departure and that of destination.

3. Perhaps an unnecessary assessment, but it happened: on this return's occasion I've come to realise that this blog's readers are not who I thought them to be. What's more, I don't know [nor can I infer] who they are, at all [with a couple of exceptions]. So, here's to spice things up: should you be reading my rantings and reviews, feel free to leave a comment on what is it that you'd like to reader further. I happen to think it's a fair deal for all. Should no comments be left, I'll continue this randomness as previously :)

Have a good Sunday, All!

My upcoming flight

It's tomorrow: landing at BBU at night.
Should any of you be in the mood to pick me up [*should such a mood -in fact- exist, hehe] tell me. The sooner the better.
Any such initiatives would be appreciated... but I'll try not to hate you if you don't say anything either.

The Second Box Weighed 10,135kg

The first had been slightly heavier, with 12,820kg, but also larger.
Hope this time they'll make it to the destination/s without any incidents, i.e. missing items; last time, the tiny box I had sent M. was missing its raison d'etre: the necklace [and I couldn't do much more than register a complaint. The necklace was never found, nor did we receive any explanation for the 2nd layer of duct tape, of a different size and colour than the one I had used].

On a side note, I'm noticing I've been hoarding slightly less this time, but still quite a bit. And the missing 20+ kilos really don't make a visual difference on that.
One day, I'll start listing the most random of hoarded items - it'll be a delight!

Yesterday's presents: psychological & tangible

Most unexpectedly, St. Nicholas Day brought along presents starting yesterday night [just on time!]: a couple of very nice parents [not mine] came with very large shiny boxes, and a certain phone call was possibly one of the nicest this month - just because it happened.
Guess I like certain kinds of surprises: Happy St. Nicholas Day!

Now that December's here

The one way plane ticket's been booked.
It's time to put life in boxes, once again. In all meanings you might think of.
It started today.
