Tickets, Money, Passport?

Sometimes I think *oh yes, hard to believe* I'm not very good at relaxing. I need to talk myself into just hanging around and not being bothered that there's something bigger, better and infinitely more exciting going on in the outside world whilst I arse about doing flap all. And then there are the times when I positively embrace doing nothing, doing exactly what I want for as long as I want with no guilt and no worry that I might be missing out.

Things that help this are:

1. staying in your pyjamas (especially if they're the nice soft new flannel ones you bought in Aus that are so comfy, and did I say soft? and snuggly that you can't help but feel relaxed wearing them).
2. pouring rain. (who wants to go out in that?)
3. endless cups of tea and coffee.
4. chocolate and biscuits.
5. the box set of series 1 and 2 of Moonlighting.





Lovin' it. Oh yes.

I was going to update this regularly whilst I was holiday, however I clearly failed in that task due primarily to the fact that Dad no longer has a phone line at home and consequently no internet. He also doesn't have an iron or hair-dryer. Two things I rarely use but seemed to be in great need of whilst I was gone.

Currently killing time in Sinapore, flight up was okay. Apart from the turbulence and lack of Bloody Marys. I think I slept, though it didn't feel like it at the time and I must confess I am not looking forward to the next 13 hours. I miss the Airbus. Who'd have thought I'd say that after all my carry on before I left. It was fantastic. Well as fantastic as economy can be.

I am standing here (they don't give you chairs so you can't linger on the free internet) with frizzy hair and feeling warmer (it's 28c now and 7.30am) than I did at any point during Perth's 'Wettest April on Record'. Oh yes I can pick them.

Managed to bring back with me 25.7kg of checked luggage, 11.3kg of onboard luggage and just under 5kg of 'handbag'. That's a whopping 42 kilos. You're only supposed to have 20 checked and 7 in hand luggage. That'll explain the rather large amount of money I spent. Amusingly I'm looking forward to hundreds of balls of yarn tumbling out of my bag when I unpack at home later today.

Oh and just for the record I watched St Trinians on the flight up (it was better than anticpated).

I've just had my first food shop home delivered. How much of a treat is that? I ordered it all yesterday morning then just had a call from the chap delivering it asking if I'd like my delivery earlier, timely as I was just walking in the front door. Yes please I say and now I'm at home, warm and not stressed from carrying loads of shopping home with a fridge and cupboard full of food.

So much for saving money. I might have to try one of the cheaper alternatives, no not you Tesco, rather than my first foray via Waitrose.

But oh what a lovely treat it has been.
