Homesick

And, yes, I know it's odd, because I'm here.

You know how it is with a friend you love and feel passionately about, and whom you miss every day, but whom you hardly write to or call because doing so is painful because you miss her/him more? I feel like that with my own country. It's going to be very very hard going back on Sunday. Partly because of some not-that-dire situations I'll have to deal with when I get back, but mainly because I'll miss this place so much.

Oh well, it's good that I get as much time here as I do these days. It isn't like when I was living in England, and I could only make it back for one week in 5 years.

I know exactly how you feel. I got to Christchurch, my home town, once or twice a year. Each time there's something different. I miss the place I grew up in, and sometimes Christchurch looks and feels like that place, and sometimes it really really doesn't.

This would indeed be the reason I like visiting Hamilton on occasion.

The side of me that read far too much angsty French poetry in my insufficiently-misspent youth says to savor your melancholie like a fine wine. [insert cheesy aksohn here.]

I'm glad you're enjoying your trip home & your friends "Both Sides The Ditch" [which would scan to "Both Sides The Tweed"].
