Ohh, I don’t want to go back. I don’t! Maybe I’ll … I’ll ask Tango an see if she minds me staying a few days longer. Maybe I can travel elsewhere before I go home. Itd be nice to see some more places in Britain, there are apparently some really nice places for photos, and they have a lot of castles and old buildings and things. I bet I can find somewhere to stay.
Maybe mama can send me some of my savings. or set it up so I can get at them here. I have a bit of money saved up, I could use that… hmm. I think I need to call Mama.
I’m meant to be flying back to New York tomorrow.
I’ve been with Tango in Cardiff for two weeks now an I’ve not felt so good in a long time! I rang Mama a couple of times, an’ she got to say hi to Tango, but seemed distracted a bit. Probably Julian has been sick again, but she didn’t say anything.
But it’s been real peaceful out here, an Tango lives in a real nice part of the city too. An I got to see her new girlfriend, too - Ruse - as well as Ruse’s son, Dien. They all seem so nice together. It’s… well, it made me hopeful that I could have a family, too! One day. I mean, if things don’t go well, then there are still options. That’s a relief.
Tango took me an Dien to a lovely castle the other day an I got a couple of real lovely pictures - I’ll put one up in a bit - bein close to the ocean like this has been really nice, we went to the Gower too, and along the beach there a bit, Dien really liked it and made some sandcastles. I think I’ve been really lucky, too - it’s been awful sunny. Tango says that it wasn’t this nice last year, it was really rainy, so she’s surprised it’s so nice this year, hopefully it’ll stay like this a while.
I have everything packed an ready to go back… except this, my laptop. I havent used it much, but I wanted to put some pictures on it before I go home, just in case something happens.
Home… I don’t know how I feel about that. Everything is so busy at home an it’s been really nice to take a couple of weeks away an do something for myself for once! Ive been at a loss for what to do for a while, since Leon decided to make his own company. The new lady who replaced him didn’t want me there. I can see why.

Yeah I step outta my little country
I travelled seasons, took a longboat
And now I find my self in a small town
It’s so remote I couldn’t trawl
So I kissed my mommy, oh on her sweet cheeks
And I told my dad I’m real glad that we’re friends
Said to my brother I’ll surely miss him
I’m coming back just don’t know when
I spoke to Mama an’ Daddy an’ I’m leaving for Europe on Sunday. I will be staying with Tango for a while, it’ll be nice to see her, I haven’t seen her for years. I think it’ll be nice to leave New York for a bit.
I’ll be packin’ till then, so I won’t have time to visit people before I go.
decorate your own soul, instead of waiting
for someone to bring you flowers."
