8 hours back in time

So the last entry was left unfinished because my credit ran out at the airport. I'm home now, didn't have the balls to rebel against already made plans. I guess it's for the best, this way I can prepare for my next visit properly, with sufficient funds and plenty of socks. The idea of living at home for a few months is nice, especially when I start working, and I'll be super motivated to save and not spend. I also want to spend some time working on my photography, experimenting with my camera and doing something with my photos - I've found a bar that exhibits paintings and photos, which are both on display and for sale, so I'm quite excited about giving that a go.
The journey back was pretty long and it felt weird getting into London and being pushed around and treated like sheep at Stansted. We spent the afternoon in central London, and went to an exhibition in the Natural History Museum about fish who live in the dark depths of the sea. It was average, and there were no wear near enough freaky fish in jars - a lot of them were ridiculously toy-like plastic replicas. But there were a couple of informative videos and the timeline listing the various forms of underwater exploration along the years was really interesting. Made me want to be a marine scientist, to get on boats and take samples of sand. Imagine that.
After the museum we headed to Liverpool Street and found a pub. We loved that it was still daytime until 9ish, and sat outside, amongst our various pieces of luggage, sipping on a pint and playing UNO. We met up with my friend Dave for a couple of hours and jumped on the Stansted Express, getting into the airport at midnight, where the cold floor awaited us for the night. Our bosies were slightly confused because of the time-change, and I ended up having an English breakfast at 2 am, which I afterwards regretted.
Now we're back home, trying to re-adjust to the flat, which amusingly seemed to have shrunk in size. Unpacking my backpack brought back lots of memories, but I'm not sad. We had a great time and the fact that it was a short stay has made us want to go back and do it properly, and I have the feeling we will.
G'day to all.
