The Unrelenting Dreariness

What a grey and dreary day! I cannot think of a country with so much dreary weather. The commuters are annoying, people are rude, the bus has broken down, yep I am definitely back in England.

The friendliness I have experienced across the world seems to run out here. Perhaps I need to make more of an effort myself - surely Britons are equally as engaging and warm as everyone else. It's just something that seems to be far harder to access. And I must learn to be less stressed by the little day-to-day annoyances - this probably doesn't help. The holiday attitude definitely taught me that.

Furthermore, on my journey home from Luton yesterday, there was loads of stuff that didn't work - vending machines, soap dispensers in public toilets, it all seems so second rate. Am I picking faults too easily? Perhaps I expect too much of this country.

I am going into work now. I am ridiculously tired despite my nine hours sleep. I am looking forward to work even though I know it's going to be a busy day. I am going to need an awful lot of tea today I think.

Romania Pictures

As many of you have been asking, please find a link to the pictures I took in Romania.

They are displayed in chronological order so if you follow my LJ entries from the last week, you should be able to work out what's what. Also, please note that I took them on my iPhone camera so the picture quality is not the best. Still, I am pretty pleased with how they turned out.
