61 degrees

When it gets up to 61 degrees here I am always reminded of England. While there, I learned that 16 degrees Celsius was about 61 degrees Fahrenheit. I learned some of the other corresponding temperatures, but that was the one I learned first.

A couple of days ago, I was talking to someone and referred to my time in England as perhaps a "once in a lifetime experience." The thought that I may not ever go back is really sad. There is so much there that I never got a chance to see. I don't feel like I made good enough use of my time there. There were so many days that I could have gone to see something...anything, but instead I just hung around the flat, reading or cooking or something of the sort.

I want to keep believing that I'll go back to England, but realistically, I probably won't get the chance. But I'm going to keep hoping...and saving.
