But my internet was down.
I felt like this:
But today after an emotional reunion with my internet provider, Virgin Media, I'm back and I'm ready to tell you all about Bologna - in nifty, accessible chunks to aid digestion. For now, here are five interesting things about the trip:
1. British Airways provided passengers with a waste bag which is a folded plastic bag within another plastic bag. TWO plastic bags for one!
4. Bologna has really INTERESTING statues. Here I am with illustrator Anne Marie Perks in front of a woman with spurting breasts:
5. In Bologna, it is possible to randomly meet cool YA authors. Here I am overcome with joy to meet Uglies creator Scott Westerfeld
Ah.
It was all very, very good.
And though the internet was down when I got back from my four days away, everything else was just as I had left it - particularly the mess in the kitchen.
And the children had not escaped.
That plastic bag-in-a-bag thing killed me, too! What are they thinking?

ReplyDeletei suppose plastic bags are a little thing compared to our carbon footprint after the flight!
