Round the World in 100 days..or a bit more

A trip taking me from the clutches of winter in London to Africa, then Asia and to Australia for Xmas. Finishing up with Fiji and North America before arriving back in London in time for February's snow! Or maybe a bit longer.....we'll see

London, UK

Hi!

I am now sitting still. Well sort of, I am physically sitting still but my mind is running around my flat thinkig, organising and generally fussing about what I have yet to do in less than two weeks to get myself on a plane to head back to Australia.

I have had a nice coupke of weeks getting all those jobs done that I have been putting off. I have hung curtains, unsuccessfully - my uncle popped around today to help. I have got tennants, had packing boxes delivered, and even packed two of them. I went and got myself an accountant to do my tax - part of my new strategy to try and simplify my life. I have to say it worked, as soon as I made the decision to get an accountant, whew a weight was lifted off my shoulders that was really really heavy!

I have the rest of the week to finish packing, the removalists are coming on saturday to pick up the boxes, then clean the flat before i hand the keys over to the new tennats on the 21st! I have 2 days grace before I fly out of London on the 23rd. I am landing in canberra on the 25th - tickertape parade is welcome! I fly in at 9.35 - so no one can have a big saturday night if you want to welcome me in at the airport!!

I went to church here tonight - HTB - then visited their new cafe after church - was really nice to sit outside on such a balmy evening and drink smoothies for £1.50. Bargain!! I am catching up with Catherine and Richard (friends from Alpha) tomorrow night at a really lovely restaurant in Brixton for an eritrean meal, need to check if Canberra has one..oh i will miss London.

Has anyone realised that I am missing Wimbledon by just hours.....I realised that this week.....what a shame hey, especially as I live within spitting distance..oh well.

Dad is currently in hospital (John James) having some follow up surgery from the robbery. He is a bit sick of being in there, so hopefully he will be out soon.

I am sure you are all aware that it was my birthday on tuesday....28.....argh! I am trying to forget it happened.

Hope you aussies are enjoying the long weekend.

Best run

Ngaira
