Yes people! I am back! I have been up for 31 hours now, & am far, far past the stage of tiredness. I didn't go to bed last night as we had to leave Alaykoy at 3am this morning; we were at my nan's til 11:30pm, so there really didn't seem much point in trying to sleep.

This morning, I saw rain in Cyprus!! OK, so it's only rain, & we get a lot of it... In Cyprus, though, it's a bit of a novelty - they go for 8 or 9 months a year without rain, & the annual rainfall of Northern Cyprus is only 50mm!!! They had already had 2 months without rain!!!

I did sleep a little bit on my flight, but not much. I have worked out the TRUE meaning of UFO. It is not Unidentified Flying Object, it is Unidentified Food Object. I had breakfast on the plane (as my flight is about 5 hours long)... It consisted of sausage (not pork, but I'm not sure what it was) that bounced! A pancake (I think) with cheese (I think) that was like rubber, & a tomato that was definitely a tomato, tho tasted of plastic!!! There was also jam that had to be POURED onto the bread!!!

My daddy, lovely man that he is, decided that rather than leaving me to make my own way from Chingford (in Greater London) all the way to Rugby (South of Birmingham) by train - well TRAINS & the underground, & then from Rugby to Southam (where I live) on a bus, he will drive me all the way there after work today!!! Yay! That is SUCH a relief! I was not looking forward to dragging my HUGE suitcase around with me on trains & buses & things & certainly was not looking forward to walking home with it when I got off the bus.

I was a little sad to leave Cyprus, but I am glad to be back here. I will be even more glad on Saturday when I go back to Exeter!!! So exciting!

Psst!!! Zosia is getting old!!!!!! Hehehe
