Oh my! You really do have a lot going on at the moment, but reading through your profile i kind of expected your home to be busy like that, with a lot of different people coming and going. I imagine that that could be stressful at times but of course its wonderful that you are so welcoming and for example help your friend by letting her stay. What a horrible story!
and you got a tarantula too now? i think i never saw one up close!
I have not yet booked a flight back home but i am planning on staying in the uk till the 7th of august!
