An engine isnt starting properly, so they're going to manually start it rather than check it out. If this is the last you hear from me, you'll know why ...

People are the best of all. I've been very lucky to spend the last few weeks in the company of so many good ones. Til next time.

I'm off. I was heartbroken, but now I'm just mad at the Heathrow bus for leaving as I was running up with my suitcases.

Shit. Bought iron for formal clothes for the wedding; added water and plugged it in; it immediately caught on fire. Craftsmanship.

@tef That is a brilliant comic that I wish I'd seen a long time ago.

I've been reminded that in the UK (where I am now) pubs are meeting spots: outboard living rooms where everyone can gather and chat. Portland feels a bit like that too, so it makes sense. What that really says is, you hung out with friends 86 weeks in a row. That's awesome!

@dailyinfooxford Tell the truth: is he on a pub crawl?

Well, here I am: the final day. And what better way to spend it than at the wedding of one of my oldest and most beloved friends?

I've walked 5-10 miles every day I've been here, and it feels so good.

@rivalee It was indeed a prison, but only after it was a castle. Now, obvs, they sell pizza and things.

Made plans to meet friends at the Castle. Which is an actual castle, because I am in England and those are things we have here.

I think it's quaint how British TV announcers introduce every show with a voice-over. Yes, quaint.

My boxes are a time capsule of me, and opening each one is harder than expected. A little dust from my old life exhales each time.

I've left myself exactly one day to go through all of my old stuff, as well as buy things I want to bring to the US. And go!
