To the Moon and Back

Wahbert the Astronaut ("Astrobert") has crash landed back onto Earth. The shock of landing has sent Wahbert into another dimension known as Denial Meets Jet Lag. Wahbert seeks solace in alcohol.

One month ago, Astrobert catapulted out of the World of Wahbert into a distant planet, otherwise known as France (Seriously, there are aliens there). Upon initial contact, Astrobert noted the dazzliing lights of this planet, and the strange nasal language spoken. Fortunately, Astrobert's alien language processor enabled her to communicate with the natives.

Astrobert spent four weeks exploring the planet and found it to be extremely civilised albeit somewhat insular. As Wilde put it, they speak no language but their own, they read no literature but their own, hence they are pretty narrow-minded.. but one must not make a sweeping generalisation, some French do speak English... they are the waiters.

Anyhoo, Astrobert had an amazing time in this planet, but unfortunately, Astrobert finally ran out of euros and had bartered everything else salvaged from the World of Wahbert. Reluctantly, Astrobert embarked upon her ship for the journey back to Earth.

Astrobert is Wahbert once more. :o(
