Colours of travel

"There is a drowsy state, between sleeping and waking, when you dream more in five minutes with your eyes half open, and yourself half conscious of everything that is passing around you, than you would in five nights with your eyes fast closes, and your senses wrapt in perfect consciousness."

- Charles Dickens - Oliver Twist

I have started reading Oliver Twist recently; Dickens fairly has a way with words! Although, there are certain sections that require a little extra concentration...

7 1/2 hours. That's how much time passed between walking out of my flat door this morning and walking into the house door this afternoon. 7 1/2 hours! But the main thing is - I'm home :]

And not a bad journey either!

After Christmas at home being somewhat...broken...it is going to be great having a couple of days of just being normal at home.

We took a drive over to Llanidloes earlier to drop my rather sad laptop in to (hopefully!) be repaired. I had forgotten how sleepy a town (town? village? hmmm...) it is!

Have a couple of e-mails and to-do list type things to do now. However, this evening is going to be all about enjoying being at home :]
