One day until I leave for Zambia.
It's been a crazy couple of weeks since leaving the BBC nearly a month ago now, then spending a week packing up the flat in Glasgow, having some lovely parties and nights out with friends, saying some teary cheerios, then driving my 'life in a van' back to Leeds and emptying its contents between Horsforth and Rawdon. THEN I managed to squeeze my first ever visit to Howden to visit Natalie, a quick hello to Manchester to see my brother (known as the rat to many) and Big Jen, then to London to work at Whizz Kids (www.whizz-kidz.org.uk) to do a marketing research project and meet some lovely hardworking people (less said about the scary hotel manager with his 'no heating till October' rule) then to Oxford to catch a lift with Nathan up the M6 to Adelaide and Robs engagement do at their beautiful cottage near Dumfries in the middle of nowhere surrounded by hills and animals. Oh, and a quick stop (or 'tour' if you were asking Nathan) of Warrington on the way back to Leeds. Then a visit to Helen who I went to school with who has a lovely daughter Sophie who's just started school, she's just a lovely mini version of Helen and she just adores her new guinea pigs! It was in Mytholmroyd- I got lost on the way there and on the way back. Hopeless. Last night a dinner party chez Melissa in Armley. Today- shattered, almost packed and re-located lost passport (it was with my underwear, of COURSE)
I'll mostly be using this blog to put photos on and some quick updates. I hope to become as good a blogger as my old uni flatmate Jonny who has lived in Taiwan and blogged for years. His is rather good, Made in Taiwan
(quick thankyou to Tom for setting up mine)
Back to the last bits of packing and saying more goodbyes.....
