Well…

bueno, I am returning to the homeland temporarily, with mixed feelings. On the one hand it offers the rare excuse to celebrate seeing normality again; getting as pissed as possible and dancing like tina turner, as if it is made acceptable, with friends. On the other hand, I am still wondering why I went to Spain in the first place. I know there was a reason, and I know I have enjoyed myself (with senoritas, sangria, 37 degrees, and more cash than you can stuff down your trousers, it’s not hard). But I thought there was some kind of deeper, cheesier fulfilment I was after, and it still eludes me. And so, in the words of a famous trio, I shall:

Regroup and lounge,
Put on a couple of pounds,
And make plans to create the raw, homegrown sounds
Without love and support,
I might come up short…

…and so I shall seek some, a respite, a kit kat, call it what you will. Refreshment is on it’s way. I hope you all gain the refreshment you seek this weekend.
