Right, got a bit more time..

So yeah, I've made this blog so I can post stuff up here when I'm away that I think may be of interest to any of you lot, out there.

As you may or may not know/guess, I don't have a great track record for these types of things but I hope this is the start of something worthwhile.

I suppose it would be appropriate to inform thee of my current travelling-related news. We're still in the build up to the flight off to Thailand. I've not been too bothered about it so far but as we approach Nov 7th/8th (Mike, Dan and Kerry fly the Sunday, I go Monday) it's beginning to feel like this big fat brick wall (signifying change – I can be artistic too) getting closer and closer.

Adding to that the general questioning from others about my plans (be they polite questions or not, they get answers) and my reciting of the only bits I know: 'We are flying to Bangkok and then Oz about 4-6 weeks after that, and I might stay out there for a year' (let's see about that) I can feel the imminence of our trip increasing in volume.

So far in preparation I have borrowed a bag off Gina (cheers ol’ pal!) and applied for my working holiday Australian Visa. The two days they say it requires to return a verdict is up, and I’m a little worried my unnecessary honesty on the form declaring Dad’s TB as a kid is gonna cause me grief. Imagine if they didn’t let me in? Hahaha.. Not a thought for now. Maybe in two weeks, when I have to leave without a Visa.

So yeah, at the mo I’m just ticking over. No stress just yet. Although I did have a dream that I hadn’t done anything by the time I had to leave, so in her desperation Mum had packed for me. Then, while on some foreign train I realised she’d put all the wrong boxers in my case. At the time I was quite upset. A useful dream though, I shall be sure not to let it happen now

Blog: Go!

This is my blog.
I have made it, and now I am going to the pub.
