Blogging from England

I'm here! Here, of course, being England. And I have just five minutes to blog the greatest travel blog entry of all time. . . excepting, of course, all Fob travel entries. Because the great and powerful Fob knows no opposition.

And now I don't know what to say. It's beautiful here. Beautiful and hot. The hottest April on record. Except it's May. So the hottest April and May on record. Which means all my fleece and wool and such are getting minimal use.

So far we've hiked into Rowardennan, up Ben Lomond, out of Rowardennan, up Scafell Pike (although I took the slightly less steep option up Sty Head Pass). And today the gang is marching up Hellvelyn. I'm not, because, well, I'm the team wimp. Not so wimpy to pass on a hike that goes up and up and up on a very hot day. Especially when you're prone to heat exhaustion. (At least that's what I'll tell myself when the group starts talking about how it was an insane hike, "but so worth it".)

The clock is ticking. I'll be better prepared to blog next time.

Yeah right.

Yessss! Cause if you're in England, and I'm you, then in some sense, some deep, cosmic sense, I'M in England!

Is the five-minute time limit imposed by your computer's Automatic Updates thingee forcing it to restart every five minutes? Just wondering, because that's what mine is doing. (And by "mine" I mean the computer I'm using at the library, not my own, thank goodness.)

I'm so jealous. The only thing that would be better than being in England right now would be to be in bed.

Wow, so I came here to tell you that we really need to hang out sometime soon.. and I find out that your England trip finally happened! That's so wonderful! You truly belong there. It IS where all the beautiful, deep, and cultured aesthetes end up, you know.

The team wimp is an important function, be proud. It helps motivate everyone ... can't stop now .. if the wimp can do it so can I - can't quit before the wimp...
