Kissing the ground.

deathpixieWell, maybe I didn't go quite as far as to do a Pope imitation, but I am back on my native soil and happy to be so. The fact I'm staying with Mel, and have hanging out with her and Dia and Dyce and Lynx to look forward to, plus AussieCon next weekend, probably has a fair lot to do with it. *grins*
The flight back was... well, there's not a lot to say about a 19 hour flight that doesn't involve the words "exhausting", "uncomfortable" or "bloody long". Unbeknownst to me (until I checked in, anyway) we had a stopover in Aukland, at six in the morning. If I had known, I might have arranged for a longer stopover and a chance to see Acey. Bugger. But that aside, I managed to get onto the plane in good time (thanks to Ashlan and her driving/portage skills), spent portions of the trip asleep (not as much as I wanted to), saw Signs again (fortunately it's not as jump-out-of-your-seat-provoking the second time, or I would've been tranquilised by the stewards) and My Big Fat Greek Wedding (also a repeat for me, having seen it in Cinccinnatti with Hutch and Mel), read a couple of books, had a shower at Aukland airport because they're such a good airport, and managed to spill various foodstuffs in the midst of an attack of the clumsies. Oh, and I made a start on the next chapter of Death and the Art of Pyramid Selling, which had been popping into my head on and off during the flight, thanks be to the powers of imagination. I know exactly how it's going to go, just need to transcribe it from the pictures in my head. :)
NOw I'm off to have a shower and get dressed and such, since I've only just woken up. Well, woken up the second time - I was awake when Mel was getting ready for work, but passed out again before she actually left. *grins* Later, all.
