its been almost a year to the day since i last saw my parents. i come from a large extended catholic family where you just don't go for 12 months without seeing your kin. my mum has 4 brothers and 3 sisters. they all still live in the same small town in which they grew up and they still see each on a very regular basis (ie every few days for some of them), except of course the ones who are dead (not sure i needed to add that). anyway, in three weeks time i will be returning to the family fold for 10 whole days. I almost fell over myself trying to get away from home and small town life when i was in my late teens and now i can't wait to go back. my parents miss me very much which is why i phone them every sunday morning and email them every day (yes i do email them every. single. day!). i miss them too and as much as i'm looking forward to heading back to old blighty i'm also beginning to worry about having to once more say goodbye.
i'm now listening to a momentary lapse of reason. i hope my work colleagues appreciate my musical theme day.

i've decided that today is going to be "pink floyd day" so everyone should dig out their old albums and join me in a musical retrofest. i'm listening to wish you were here. it reminds me of laying on the beach in santa monica a few years ago, and for some reason, it also reminds me of a guy called alan who, now i think about it, i met in santa monica.
