Almost Home

It is 1:09am UK time, 7pm at home. I'm trying to stay up so I'm tired enough to sleep on the plane tomorrow. We are scheduled to leave Heathrow at 8am and to arrive in Chicago around 10am CST. If I sleep on the plane it will be the first step toward readjusting my body clock to "home time." I adjusted quite well coming over the pond because I managed to sleep on the plane coming over (more on that planned for my rant podcast later this week.

I didn't have much opportunity to knit while here and didn't do any stash enhancement. I did get a nice photo of me wearing my Highland Shawl at the Culloden battlefield. I'd like to think I could maybe knit while waiting for my plane tomorrow but I don't know if they'll allow my circulars through security, I've heard opposing opinions on this regard. I packed my knitting in my checked baggage going to and from Edinburgh because I heard that UK security wouldn't allow any sharp objects, including knitting needles.

In regards to stash enhancement, there weren't any knit shops in the Highlands that I could find and I didn't have time for much shopping in Edinburgh. London was crazy busy and we were short on time but I did manage to get to Liberty yesterday 15 minutes before closing time. I picked up two little needlework kits and some hankies. I would have loved to had time to browse their quilting and knitting books and buy some small cuts of the delicious fabric.

Our bags are stuffed to overflowing and we've put a lot of miles on our walking shoes. I plan to get photos uploaded to Flickr tomorrow when I get home and have access to my own computer. I'm also due for another podcast, so listen for that later this week.

Cheers.
