Feeling the blues.

Having my colleague stay with me, who told me I can access BBC News online and suddenly and finally after weeks getting the internet sorted at the Ashu, I have been able to see a bit of British TV.  I know it sounds silly but perhaps it will help me feel a little less lonely here.

Loneliness is a funny thing, I get it in the UK, a lot, here I get it even more..Here I have met such kindness, made nice friends, have a good life, but still the loneliness is intense, sometimes being able to phone home means I miss people so much, sometimes it makes a lot of difference. Yesterday it was my step dad's 85 birthday, I waited in the restaurant as that was the only place till about 11 last night where I had the internet,  sadly when I finally got through the restaurant was busy and noisy with people,  so I could not hear people and then after a few minutes, the signal died for several hours.   So I was sad not to have been able to be with the rest of the family and him for a bit longer.

Anyway congrats to Chiwetel Ejiofor, I suspect that the BAFTAS may be the best he gets and even the BAFTAs did not give12 years a slave much, but it was lovely to be able to turn on my computer just now and see some of the footage, love to all the people I know at the ROH who were working last there last night.
