After a stressful couple of days of getting ready for Christmas, doing some last-minute stuff for New Zealand, and tidying my flat, I am more or less sorted and am heading away this afternoon to spend Christmas with family.
Then on the 27th I have something of a gruelling journey – I fly before dawn’s crack to London, experiencing the joys of both Gatwick and Heathrow airports for the day, and then fly that night to Brisbane, with a change in Singapore.
So until I blog again through the bleary eyes of jetlag, have a lovely Christmas, dear reader.
I’ll leave you with Malcolm Middleton’s dour, nihilistic and yet perhaps also subtly optimistic Christmas offering:
Have you worked out how much shorter (I think) this year will be for you because New Year will hit you before it gets here – if you see what I mean?
Have a good trip and Merry Christmas.
Sort of, Graham. It’s certainly occurred to me that I’ll get a whole extra 10 or so hours of 2008, but of course the flip side of that is that I’ll miss out on a similar chunk of 2007.
Have a wonderful Christmas with your folks and a safe journey {:->
Have a good trip. We will need to meet up in 2008!
