Well gang, I’ve arrive in joy old England to a brisk 7* C which is about 47*F. Yikes. Here’s to hoping it’ll warm up, otherwise I’ve been robbed of my favorite season.
Speaking of weather, did anyone see that there was a tornado warning in Brooklyn yesterday!? BROOKLYN of all places! Insane. Also why my flight took off an hour later than it was supposed to. At least it was only a 6 hour and some change flight. We arrived at Heathrow an hour late also and I thought I was going to have to wait in the mother of all horrid queues, but thankfully someone had the good idea of opening up the fast lane for everyone else. Phew. Flying over an Irish and Welsh sunrise this morning was one of the most spectacularly green landscapes I’ve ever laid eyes on. I cannot WAIT to explore them in person. Sadly I didn’t take any pictures because I had an isle seat, so maybe next time around I can.
Virgin Airways has plentiful options for en-flight entertainment and I have to give some recommendations based upon it. Feeder’s new album, Renegades, is amazing. If you don’t know anything about them, they are a British rock band. I know, surprise on my part, but honestly, I think the majority of you would like them if you listen to rock. Also, The Foals sophomore album, Total Life Forever, is fantastic and they are one of my favorite up and coming bands (at least state side), so I strongly urge you to check them out too. Last but not least, if you’ve been living under a rock, then I will excuse you. However, if you do not reside under a boulder, you are NUTS if you haven’t heard or checked into Janelle Monae. She is stellar. The album is called The ArchAndroid.
Adding to the en-flight entertainment were the two notes written on the cocktail napkins from Alesha, and I will assume Jessica & Lauren. Thanks ladies, those definitely boosted my spirits. :-)
Hope you all are doing well. I miss you terribly, and I’m sure it will get just a little worse once I see group pictures. Just promise that you’ll be awkward enough to pose with an outstretched arm so that I can be included! Love you all!
