Back in the land of my fathers after a reasonable - if long - journey from Arenal to England (via Charlotte, NC). The flight was reasonable and I managed to get a row to myself so I could stretch out and enjoy the food and movies (US Airways has On Demand movies so you can get them when you want them. There food is also better than most.)

Arrived back to drizzle and cold weather and to find that my parents had packed all my stuff into a number of boxes in preparation for moving.

Spent the early part of today alternately looking for things I needed and trying get my fathers Pc back online. The sound card seems to have packed in and he gets an error code 10 when trying to start the sound service.

In the end I gave up and spent the day snoozing and getting my body back to English time. Tomorrow I plan to take my problem to the local Pc World have them mull it over.

The only bugger being that M'lady Leanne and I have lost the ability to voice chat so we have been practicing our typing skills.

More tales of adventure tomorrow but, for now, I am off to the embrace of Morpheus.

Last entry for a little while as I am heading off to airport to fly back to Insulae Draconis and need to pack my Laptop away for travel.

Going to miss Arenal and all the fun people but have high hopes that I will be returning one day, soon.

Y'all keep safe and I'll see you around the firepit

My last day in the Shire before I have to head back to the dull mundane world of Insulae Draconis.

Lots of fond goodbyes and some great - as always - conversation. I will miss everyone more than they know and will count the days till I return.

Too many people - for too many kindnesses - to mention and all have made me feel welcome.

Lord Bastion wrote something special in my book which I will turn to in the darkest of times.

Know all that wherever I am my eyes will seek out the fires of Arenal.
