Next
Last days in Finland before flying out to Vancouver on Wednesday morning.
We met Dragon's grandmother and mother today, meeting Mikki later on and then we're having an early celebration of Dragon's birthday tomorrow evening. It's been a weird holiday this time - not meeting many people, for some reason. To be honest, I've been just sleeping a lot which probably just shows how exhausted I have been.
Still, and dispite what I expected, I've been mostly living and thinking Finland. Only today when we needed to sort out last details I've started again thinking about moving and my new life, thoughts move on to what to wear and read in the plane.
Not feeling sad anymore, not really. England is in my heart, and probably will be for quite some time to come, but time in Finland has given me enough distance so it doesn't hurt (acutely) anymore.

I can't imagine what it's like, but I'm sure it'll be okay. In a few years you'll probably wonder what all the fuss was about.
Or then again, maybe not.
Lot of use I am, eh? :)

What I've come to expect from you ;)
But seriously, I think it's a good metaphor - in a way I am breaking up with England, in a way that we probably won't be "together" in the same way we used to.
