Messages from home


This afternoon, I arrived home from the first day of my dive course (a lot more on that later) to find a large dose of home waiting for me in the form of a stack of mail from both sides of the Atlantic. It was pretty special that all four packages arrived at once and it meant that I could have a little belated English birthday. At the kitchen table. By myself. Amongst the treats were a highly obscene card featuring fellatio from the lovely Mr Saunders, a gorgeous necklace from my ultibabe Rachel and a whole wad of cards from my grandparents, aunties and uncles. My wonderful parents managed to get Murphy to sign the card from them (and I call him a dumb dog) and got me a few little presents to accompany my main present, the dive course.


By far the most memorable package of the day, however, came all the way from Iowa, USA. My beautiful twin Chloe and I are finding our year of separation very difficult and her incredible card and present made me miss her company even more. A musical Taylor Swift (our idol) card is rather special in itself and I shall be replaying it should I ever need a little boost of girl power, but the piéce de résistance was the little box from Made with Molecules. As if the two of us could get any more geeky, we can now boast complimentary DNA base pair necklaces; guanine and cytosine to be exact! I am so excited to wear them to lectures together, we'll look pretty rad I reckon. Just the boost I needed after a long day in the pool, thank you friends and family!
