The Summer Extension

The weekend went by in a haze, as I slept for most of it due to feeling a tad run-down. I booked my flight out of London which was quite a feat; firstly because we sneak into one of our neighbours internet connections, and secondly, it felt like a really huge step!! I am flying Singapore airlines, (it'll feel like floating on a cloud after my marriage with Ryanair) and as I chose to sit in the two seater near the back, I ordered "special" meals so that I don't get all the crap leftovers (hopefully it doesn't mean that I'll be getting seafood for breakfast!!). Although I think it is very bizarre that you can order a "special" oriental or seafood meal, I mean are there people that don't eat anything other than seafood? Among the more interesting ones are "soft fluid", "ulcer diet" and one actually called a "bland meal", mm mm. Plane food is already so undesirable that I can't imagine what a special "plain" meal is like!! (ha ha pardon the pun) I am very excited as I will be staying with Keat, Belinda, and Sienna in Brisbane for a month and meeting my parents when they come over for Christmas; hopefully Sienna will be old enough to do finger painting and play tea parties with me, and give her mama and papa some time to do grown up stuff : ) My aims is to go seamlessly from one temperate climate to another so that I don't lose that European tan that I hope to steal back from this grim London weather; this year I have been the brownest and also the whitest that I have ever been, to the point that I have resorted to Johnson's holiday skin!! (That and it was on sale making it the same price as my normal moisturiser; although all day I've been wandering why my hands smell strange and it has just clicked as I write this) As much as fully paying for a flight out with no refunds seven months ahead is major in my current lifestyle of jetting to different countries at the drop of a hat, it is in actual fact a good way to make sure I see and do what I want to do before I leave as I have a fixed date to work towards. Carpi Diem!!
