So Liz came up on Thursday night. Ended a lot of waiting.
Annoyingly, I had to work on Friday. However, that was the least of my worries, as I had a presentation on my final year project to give on Monday, and I got a little time to prepare my mind.
This didn't stop us going to see my father then mother. A nice pleasent journey...would have been nice and pleasent. The 16:30 Edinburgh to Perth train arrived about 18:00, and sat for some time waiting on a connection before departing. Which was nice.
The counterpart being, of course, the lack of any train at all from Auchterarder to Edinburgh today. For whatever reason, this was replaced by a coach, stopping in every station en route. This involved much backing in and out and twisty little streets, as train stations are not always overly accessible by road. I felt ill. I still feel ill :(
Transport problems aside, I believe the weekend went rather well. Meeting of parents and grillfiend seemed to go rather well, and I at least enjoyed my weekend.
Now I have a project presentation to prepare. Hopefully I'll do more than write a sentance and a half and no slides, and hopefully I'll feel better tommorrow and able to talk and explain things. Some chance.

I miss you
Can I come back now? I miss you so much love. I'd forgotten quite how
amazingly wonderful it feels to be with you. Meeting your dad and Sue
was scary, and your mum was lovely. It was
nervewracking/terrifying/ohmygodsI'mnervous.. but good :) Your dad is
very cool and it was lovely to see how much he cares about you *and*
tells you. Sue was lovely to talk to.. I like her :) Your mum was *so*
nice to me!
It was so nice of her to invite Adam and myself for Christmas. Are you
ok with that? really? I wasn't sure how happy you were at the idea. I
don 't want to come over if you want to spend Chrimbo with your family
on your own. But I'd love to bring Adam up if it's ok with you.
I wish I hadn't been so nervous round your folks. I feel so embarassed
that I babbled on so much. You know I talk.. but I was just so scared
of messing up. I'm glad they seemed to like me, but I'll be happier
when I've been back a few times and don't feel so.. I dunno... I think
I come across as being so young and silly. You seemed to take it all
in your stride though :)
I can't wait to see you again in York. Adam misses you a lot. He keeps
getting my mobile and asking to talk to you. We wanna see the Twains!
Look after yourself darling. You're wonderful, amazing, gorgeous,
sexy, funny, beautiful inside and out and I love you.

*swoon*
Just over two weeks seems like ages. At least I hopefully won't be as stressed as I could be; maybe I'll get some work done in the meantime.
3 assignments and a project, all at approximately 0% completion. Perfect time to enter work mode. Feels nicely familiar
We'll talk more about Christmas, but I'd like to see you (and Adam) then.
