Well, I begin the long travels back to Budapest this evening. "Tomorrow" (technically it's tomorrow, the 4th, but the days blend together when I'm on the move) I have a brief layover in Milan before taking a shorter flight to Budapest. I can hardly wait to be back home. Budapest really is my home now, although I'm not sure if it's where my heart is. That thing... I keep misplacing it!

Packed and repacked the foolish suitcase so many times that I began to consider taking off for Hungary with just my laptop and my violin...or just my violin.

I have a wretched cough. It has been bothering me since Thursday. I feel a little better today, but I'm sure the air travel won't help any.

Anyway... It will be nice to go home. I didn't get to listen to all of the new music I wanted to. Most notably, the recording of the Guanieri Quartet will have to wait until the next time I'm in Chelmsford.

*cough* Right, time for me to sign off.

Lucky you to be returning back to Budapest. I just came back two days ago. Ended up buying a new violin.
