NEWS no.3

So let me set the scene for you.

I spent yesterday feeling sad and homesick and didn't see or talk to Adam. He offered dinner and for me to come over, as I told him how I was feeling, but I wasn't feeling like good company. So he suggested lunch today.

He picked me up around 12.30pm on his scooter and took me to a pub called the Backbencher, next to parliament. We had a lovely lunch, the food was really good. He asked how I was feeling and we talked about the work he has to do (which is a lot!). I told him about my homesickness, about my thoughts for going home (yesterday I was looking at flights home with the idea of a week back in the UK - the flights started at 1,350 GBP though, which is a lot) and my plans for when my visa runs out (which is still south america in the end and then home). He listened to this last and then said "but then you're coming back here?" I confirmed that I am, as that is my plan at the moment.

And then he said "I've been thinking about something..." and I looked off over to the other side of the pub, trying to look nonchalant becuase my brain was suddenly getting excited, and what I'm thinking or feeling is always written all over my face, and I didn't want him to see me get all excited and then he might have said something like "I really want to get some bedside lamps, what do you think?" and then I've been disappointed and he'd have seen and that would have been awkward.

I didn't know exactly what he was going to say, but I felt sure it was something I would like, something big.

And indeed, he said "I've been thinking about a holiday to the UK, when you're back there. What do you think?"

I cannot think of anything I would rather have happen. I will be missing him like crazy to be honest when I'm back, which may be for a couple of months or more. But even more than that, to be able to introduce him to all my family, and my friends, and my favourite London places (and he also wants to visit Scotland with me as he's never been!) is just the most amazing, happy thing I can think of right now :o)

So, watch this space people. You may yet get to meet the great Adam sooner than you think :o) I mean, it's not for sure... but fingers crossed it'll all work out!

By the way, if you are interested, here are some of his short films (they're good!!) - http://www.youtube.com/user/BoomerNZ
