Oh, London, I’ve missed you.

I have lectures and classes and shows to come, but my first day was about settling back in.

I met Jason at his office to get the keys, say a quick hello, make fun of his new Britishisms, and make promises to catch up more when he gets home tonight.

I do like how Jason’s flat feels like a second home. The smell of the stargazer lilies…

the perfectly presented guest room…

the skeleton keys…

the fridge full of blue and white dishes but not food:

the freezer that I’m pretty certain Jason’s never used as it still contains the ice cube trays I bought last summer and the pint of raspberry sorbet I left behind…

the interesting shops across the way and the sounds of the passers-by…

It’s lovely to be back!
