It's less than two weeks now until Lisa arrives in the UK from Nebraska again, it's close enough now that we can begin the countdown in days rather than weeks or months and it can't come quick enough, I can't wait!! Yayyyyyy!!
Thursday the 19th she will touch down at LHR in the wee small hours, I will of course be tracking the flight almost mile by mile overnight and waiting for a text from Punctuation to say that she has been met safely at the arrivals gate!
It seems a long time ago now since the last time she was here and we met for real for the very first time, though in actual fact it was only last October and one would have thought that having been best friends for years online and never having met until that point, six months would seem very little, but it doesn't! Somehow the having met makes it all the more frustrating that we are 4000 miles apart on a day to day basis.
That said, I feel lucky, many 'virtual'friendships of such a distance remain only online for much longer, if not permanently and to get to hang out together twice in six months is more than I think either of us ever envisaged would be a possibility until relatively recently!
Did I mention I am excited?
11 days to go and counting......

I just know you're counting down the days till I return to LHR too !

I'm excited for you too, Gem - just like I was when you came over here. Any chance of a re-visit? Pleeeeeeeeaaaaaase?
Pretty please with icing on top?
xx
I am, Silverback. ;)
Is it just 11 days already? :)
My personal reader read this to me this morning. I almost cried. :)
It does seem rather miraculous, considering we began talking years ago about one of us going one place or the other.
Let's stay off the Leffe this time. hehe
