#Homeagain

Wednesday 10th, 5,23am, 13.7dg forecasting patchy cloud with possible showers this afternoon. Back home in my own bed, with coffee at hand, and the start of normal routine. I opened the cases yesterday afternoon took out the absolute necessities, you know, like duty free, and then closed the door and walked away. It is quite the worst aspect of travelling, the unpack, wash and sort. I was sad to leave Singapore so quickly, but my mistake with the timing... dunce's cap !! Seamless trip back thanks to Singapore Air and another seamless rail journey thanks to the OBB Railjet. Just love that service, two and half hours to my village from Zurich main station, brilliant. I missed my connection in Zurich HBF so had to cool my heels in a Bahnhof cafe for two hours.. la la la, as you do after a 12 and a half hour flight. So home again. I have resident besties here in the house which is so lovely to come home to company, although one of them is moving like a geriatric old fart after a small issue with his feet and the stairwell. Sad thing about feet and stairwell issues is the stairwell always comes out on top, so we will be quietly catching up and going slowly all round for a while. The weather is certainly not overly summery here... I was a two wool cardigans yesterday, and the surrounding greenery certainly tells the tale of the massively wet season it has been in my absence. Today is laundry day, and all that is associated with unpack. A note to my sister, those two coats you forced me to buy in Auckland will not fit into the hanging space in the dressing room for coats so I am now forced to have a sort out there also !!! On the whole I have been very frugal with retail since I have been away, a handful of "things" in Singapore on the in and out, and a modest session with my sister in Auckland, but the best bit was no overweight charges !!
