Back in the UK

I will post photos of my trip to Nepal as soon as I'm back in Kuwait. But I wanted to post about why I'm back in the Uk. My wonderful, wonderful friend Mikey died last week. And it's the saddest news. He was my confidant, my comedy and my inspiration. His outlook on life was the kick in the ass I needed to move to Luxembourg, and then to Kuwait (although he didn't approve of me moving to Kuwait, thought it might be a bit dangerous.)
He was my supplier of music, lazy cups of tea, too much red wine and pets that I really couldn't deal with.

Looking through photos there are barely any of us together, which makes me sad. But there are lots that I know he was responsible for.

So here's to my wonderful, pain in the arse friend who I missed when we weren't in the same country never mind now.

We found this song one afternoon when it was freezing cold and I'd had to get out of my house. We spent the entire day watching films and trying to find new music, and this one was our favourite. It also prompted a vast interest in wearing waistcoats. But that's another story.

Enjoy the video, it was our favourite from that day, and it would get sent randomly.
