*tap, tap* …this thing on?

Ah, hello there. Greetings from Mrs J sitting today in the annex of what can only be described as the House of “Far Far AWAY!”. (If you haven’t seen Shrek, go see it, then you’ll understand.)

Yeah, ok, it’s still in Europe. But it’s far. Just go with it, ok?

First things first: Thank you Mrs B for getting Mrs J online. Mrs J almost locked Mrs B out of the B’s own Internet connection in the process. Which would have been very embarrassing.

Now, Mrs J has at least a couple of posts worth of stuff from the last few days of going North. It’s too much to put in one piece, so let’s start with how Mrs J got to here.

It went something like this:

Airport.

 Train.

Ragadoodle roommate.

Mud.

Stay with FamilySis.

They have a whole box of party hats, y’all. Honestly, if your life includes a whole box marked “party hats”, you know you’re going to be ok. Trust Mrs J on this.

Train.

 More train. Then some running & despair.

 Dirty fast train. Followed by more running & despair.

Bus.

Nostalgia. When Mrs J was a very, very young girl she took her first train trip ever to this place. There’s nothing there, but who cares?

Big relief.

Mrs J is very, very happy to have arrived. Getting here is truly painful, but times like yesterday afternoon and today are absolutely positively worth it.

Probably, it wouldn’t be such a great place if it was easy to get to. More about “here” in the next few days.

For those of you that don’t like fish, I apologize in advance. It’s about to get fishy again. Come back in a few days a’right?
