Another of the things my dad fails to tell me!!
I knew that Huw and Allison David were travelling around the world on their bikes, but I didn't know they had a website - nay "blog" - which they update with diary entries and photos.... Mary Ruth told me about it today, so I've got a couple of months of catching up (and envying) to do.
Whilst I envy their 2 year trip, but not so sure about doing it all on bikes (give or take a RTW air ticket) ....
Occasionally I do something really, really stupid which upsets someone else, albeit unintentionally.
And today was one of those days.
So, sorry Maurice.
:(
That's what I'm now offically allowed to call Hazel. Not that she's *my* girlfriend of course. That's Luke's priveledge and, no doubt, his pleasure too.
And apparently Raji and I get to meet the man next week - v.g.
See what sharing a bottle and 2 glasses of Australian red gets you? Bridget Jones would be proud.
Yesh, informashion and a spinning head. uh-oh - french tomorrow. double uh-oh....
... with the 'witch' in this case being the OU PM exam.
No more revision!
No more feeling that I should be / haven't done enough revising!
No more activity-on-arrow / activity-on-node analysis!
No more PRINCE2 Components, Processes or Techniques!
Woo hooo!
Let's just hope I've passed, otherwise I'll be regretting this euphoria (currently mixed with exhaustion) in 2 1/2 months time... yes, exam results are not due out until 'late December'!
We got the keys on Saturday, and slept over on the double airbed Saturday and Sunday nights. It all felt a bit weird and unreal, like it's not really ours.
The red walls are taking rather longer than expected to paint over - 3 coats to date, and you can still see the white border.... and I doubt that either of us will voluntarily prepare walls using sugar soap ever again either.
We had removals from Hackney-to Barbican yesterday. All I can say is it's a huge relief to have that all behind us, even if the flat's now looking like a FedEx depot - boxes, boxes everywhere!!
TJBR were our first visitors, bringing with them a Sunday afternoon tea kit, including kettle and cake!
Hazel came round last night with a bottle of vino, and I had to confess to not being able to locate the corkscrews. Good job Phil had his penknife to hand....
We've completed!!!
Zone 1, here we come
