Back in the land of virtual pizzas.

I am back in this fine adopted country of mine and loving every minute of it. Ah the consumerism is WONDERFUL! We ordered pizza online to celebrate our return and it was delivered within 30 minutes. We watched netflix and updated our lists (this hasn't really taken off in the UK), we turned on our AC and danced like lunatics in front of the icy cold air screaming at the sun to 'bring it on!' – drank real coffee – real margaritas (you're shot on site for ordering these in the UK) – surfed the internet at stupid speeds (the UK has a tiered system where you pay much more for similar speeds and get told off if you're on it too much) collapsing at a ridiculously early hour. Good job we like it, we were up again at 4am. International travel no longer appeals.
