This time, we stayed in Hastings. I'd had an extremely blurry, crazy week the last week in Vienna, and had gotten hardly any sleep, so being at Sara's house was very, very relaxing. I got a lot of reading, knitting, and movie-watching done, plus hanging out in the local town. ... read more

So, this is my first entry on this journal - the first of many I hope. I'm currently working my penultimate day at work, so what better than to write a quick entry here to get this thing going?! I think my leaving date is seven weeks yesterday, and I have a doctor's appointment tomorrow to go and get my vaccinations. Once this is done, I'll be one step closer to leaving... At the moment my rough, undetailed itinerary (which gets even more vague nearer the end) is as follows: September 12 - Fly from London Heathrow to Rio De Janeiro, Brazil. Spend about a month in Brazil, traveling round bits of the country, which will hopefully include a visit to the Amazon. Travel overland into Argentina. Spend another month here, before ending up in Patagonia. ... read more

Well we made fifteen miles of this walk, having started rather late due to Judy's fast driving but missing the turning a couple of times. Not too many cars in the leisure car park and nobody dressed up as a duck or windmill - just a couple of nurse uniforms of the old variety. We were overtaken by a geriatric running club - one member looked as if he wouldn't make it to the end of the road but I presume they jogged the 7 mile circuit which is pretty impressive. Shocking arrow directions to start with but they improved and the watering stops were excellent with peaches and nectarines as refreshments. Commandeered the gents toilet at one stop. What the hell do other women do in the loo that takes so long. Only two steep ... read more

We have now headed out of London to stay with my cousin, Phil. He lives south of London in the countryside just north of Brighton. To get there it was a few trains and trams to meet phil who would drive us the rest of the way. We stopped in Wimbledon on the way. It was a week before the tournament and Dave tricked me into believing he saw Pat Rafter. Well it was only a week before, but then i caught on when he said, Oh and Leyton Hewitt was with him!!! We also found a place there called Jumbuck's that is exactly like Jester's, we were stoked. Pie's for us!!!!! Once we met Phil we drove through the country to his lovely little cottage thats overlooks fields and hills. It is so nice and ... read more

The Bodhran, pronounced "baw-ron", is the celtic drum. I was taught for a few minutes and got completely hooked, so guess what, I bought my own! And playing the bodhran at the beach, while listening to the waves is so... WOW. ... read more

So I was in that plane, ready to fly to England, and we got this message from the pilot: "Ladies and gentlemen, we have some technical problems, so we will ask to be patient for a little while until the engineer fixes what CRACKED " What's CRACKED!? Oh my GOD... Believe me I didn't want to be there then. But I'm in England now, and the flight was absolutely fine and smooth. ...OOOF! ... read more
