I'm leaving on a jet plane!! Home to the Sunny State for Xmas!

---

G'day!!

I know I've been hell slack in my updates on here of late - - so much to do and get organised , I've barely had time to scratch myself! It's now only 3 days til I fly out of London, should be a long and very interesting trip - my end of year work celebrations are on Friday (and I fly out Saturday) and they start at 11am and will continue long into the night. I have a feeling I'm going to be looking more like shit than shit hot when I get off that plane at the other end! Stupid bloody Thai Airways could only get me on a flight with a 7 hour (yes 7 long hours) stopover in Bangkok. I was hoping for at least a couple of days, could have dashed off and visited Schappelle and taken her some Christmas Pud. Ok, bad taste joke....

It's been another very interesting and busy year for me - - I've seen some awesome places and weirdly I have seen more Emerald and Central Queensland people this year than nearly the whole time I was in Yeppoon or Rocky! well, maybe a slight exaggeration there ;-) Can you believe I've been here for around 20 months now - - time sure does fly. London has become more and more like home and now, with only a few days out until I go home for Xmas, I'm feeling very nervous - - it's almost like leaving my comfort zone all over again (cue the melodramatic music!!).

I'm not going to make this entry very long - - don't want to get all my piss related stories up here and have nothing to tell you back home! All I can say is that if you do see me, you'll have to remind me to tell you about the inner ear virus I had (a real one this time) - - I'm sure I'll have much embellished the story by the time I see you (and with a few drinks in me!) so it will be well worth hearing :-)

Sorry for the random pics, but I know how some of you really do skim over my bloody text and can only look at the pictures -- they're mainly of the last few months drunken debauchery in London, plus a few ones of Stonehenge....Kate, Nat and I went for a weekend recently & I think the pictures are a lot nicer than the actual place. It was fucking freezing and windy & I was wearing high heeled boots in muddy grass - - you can only IMAGINE how nice I was being to the other two!

For anyone who has somehow missed my travel details.....here they are again!

Arrive BrisVegas: Monday 18th December (time unknown!!)

Arrive Emerald: Friday 5th Jan (sometime in the arvo)
Depart Emerald: Sunday 7th Jan (last flight out I think)

Depart BrisVegas for London: January 10th

I'll be contactable PROBABLY on my UK moby, or else you can always look up my oldies phone number or email me for it and I'll send it to you. If not, you're off the xmas card list for next year!!

For anyone I don't manage to see or speak to individually - - hope you have a wicked Christmas & a smashing new year!

Peace & love,

Ames x x x x x
