Just checking in - haven't been feeling well the last few days. Just a little cold, not swine flu, I promise. So basically my days have been filled with water, lemon green tea, and a ton of 'Friends' episodes. Despite my stubborness about wanting to still do everything myself ( I hate being sick!) James has provided me with homemade pizza, vegetable soup, and a load of movies. A little thunder and lightning this afternoon made my time on the couch rather cozy, actually. Of all the places to feel ill, I really prefer the English countryside!

My time here is winding down rather peacefully. Just a few more days of hanging out and then the big canal trip on Sunday. We've done so much over the past month and a half, and yet things have settled nicely into a day in and day out routine.

I don't think time went by without me, but how did I not feel it moving so fast?
