What a spin out. I've now been back a week and am only just starting to feel the post-nomadic effects of the past month. I've used up a hell of a lot of adrenalin, energy and, well, health and am just beginning to feel the burn! Aside from feeling like one of those stupid birds flying crazily around a room then splatting against a window, the hardest thing is actually staying still!
Seriously. I wake, leap out of bed and, for the duration of the day, fight urges to twitter, photograph and document every banal part of my day. Only thing is, my life is comparatively boooooorrrrrring. I've been quite busy editing, collating and organising since I have been back, but there is something less satisfying about doing it all from the comfort of a wheely chair.
