Oh how I miss my dishwand...in fact I miss it so much that I googled it today to find out that it has a proper name, and that name is a dishwand.
I also miss Crunchies, Marie Claire, Delicious and GladBake. How do I know that I miss these things? Because they are what I asked Reece to bring back for me from his trip home this weekend.
Like anyone, I have days when I feel like its all too hard and I want to run back to Australia. I'm having an extended one of these moments right now, and am craving the comfort of home. My work is what is causing this, and I'm probably not ready yet to treat the subject with enough tact, so I'm going to refrain while I feel like this.
Suffice to say the thing I miss most, right now, is directness. I miss the straightforwardness of adults back home, I definitely miss adults acting like adults.
So anyway, that is my whinge.
When you are away for an extended period of time, what is it that you miss the most? I'd love to hear from anyone who has spent time in a very different culture...how did you handle it?

I haven't spent an extended period time away but Mum has and she missed the Sunday papers the most... So I saved all the Sunday magazines that I could and gave them to her as a present!
ReplyDeleteHang in there honey... we miss you too! xxx
Ahhh Sunday papers...another thing to add to the list!!
ReplyDeleteHey babe - hang in there!
ReplyDeleteWhat do I miss, living so far away from home? My besties FOR SURE and fam and I'm sad to be missing out on knowing my nieces and nephews and our friends' kids better.
Maybe a little more progressive attitude (then again, Canada is dealing with the Conservative government it voted in so I'm happy to be missing that too.)
Other than that, not missing the lengthy winter or busy busy busy Toronto or ... well ... much! Australia provides.
Oh, the hub just reminded me of something I miss - but it may be a time thing rather than a place thing.
