Hello from Mark's backroom. It seems that the closer we are getting to our travelling excursion, the more things still need to be done. However, as promised, after much fighting with the computer and the inter web we have eventually got our Blog up-and-running. As we prepare to embark on our trip into the unknown the task of successfully jetting ourselves around the world, taking in the sights an sounds of all the wonderful places we plan to visit and then returning home again safely in one piece, seems more and more unachievable. However, through thick and thin, we vow that you at home; sitting comfortably in your armchairs, sipping tea and feeling dry and warm, shall be provided as close to first hand as we can supply, the ins and outs of our great adventure. ... read more

We are still packing having had a really hectic day full of last minute madness. It's amazing how long and complex those last few jobs can be. It was of course sadly pradictable that I was always going to be running around like a blue arsed fly today but try as I might I could not avoid my fate. My favourite last minute highlight was discovering our digital camera is too old to fit modern memory sticks. We have bought a new fangled modern camera so have gone over the budget for the day on the first day. I hope that we do better over the next few days or we'll be back before xmas. Taxi is booked for 3:15 so I have appoximately 6 hours to finish packing, stress and re-pack and enough time to ... read more

The word of the day is IRONY. Life is irony. We should always watch what we say and weigh every word that comes out of our mouth. I was chatting to a friend the other day saying how I hate London for sirens, for Ambulances and Police cars running the streets rushing to save somebody, how many times a day you hear sirens rushing to the scene of an accident, a fire, a murder.... Sirens making us aware that in that very moment when we go routinely about our day, somebody's hurt and desperately needs help. About a week after making this comment, on the 13th February, it happened to me. The sirens went on for me. I had a cerebral seizure on a bus and an ambulance rushed me to the nearest hospital. The doctors ... read more

Sziasztok! Már nagyon hiányoztok. Tegnap este végre találtam megfelelő albérletet, úgy néz ki, hogy február elsején tudok kölztözni. Nem valami nagy, de ketten kényelmesen, hárman szűkösen el lehet benne éldegélni. Ha már ott lakom, mutatok képet róla. Most indulok az itteni vonatállomásra Papa és Öri elé, itt lesznek vasárnap reggelig, úgyhogy lesz egy pár nap felüdülés. Egyeleőre semmi érdekes nem történik, a munka elég jó, bár 9 óra az előírt napi minimum. Most tanulom a 3D-s programot, ami egy jelentős része lesz az itteni feladataimnak. Szeretettel gondolok rátok, vigyázzatok magatokra! Puszi: Ori... read more

So much for us not having much stuff! The full extent of the number of possessions we own has hit us hard - Our living room is a sea of boxes. Things have finally (fingers crossed so not to jinx things!) come together and we are in the process of packing the house up, and getting ready to hand over the keys. We have only got another 3 weeks at work, and we are counting down the days! With luck on our side the next blog should come from somewhere a little more exotic than Ponders End! ... read more
