Well it's almost time for us to head back to the UK on vacation... It's fair to say that I can't wait to see family, old friends & Spot! The lure of Glastonbury is also there, but most of all I'm just looking forward to getting away from the grind of work for a couple of weeks. We fly out on Thursday, and the plan is to have dinner in London on the Friday night before heading home for a while - back to London Thursday 28th June.In the meantime, we've got a few activities to keep us both occupied. Friday night it's Lucy's leaving drinks (her temping contract at HSBC finishes) and I'm going along with a few of my friends. Saturday is going to be a day of preparation, last minute shopping and who knows what else.... On Sunday we're going to the Hordern Pavilion for a dance event called 'We Love Sounds' - a whole day of Dj sets & live music, including James Zabiela, Tiefschwarz & Grandmaster Flash. Monday is a bank holiday - ironically Australia & New Zealand have holidays to mark the Queen's birthday, but on different days! Don't think we even have such a holiday in the UK? Thinking of public holidays, I noticed the other day that some politicians are thinking of having a day to celebrate Britain - if it's anything like Australia Day it will be awesome.
Tuesday it's back to work & then Wednesday night I'm looking forward to the 2nd game in the State of Origin series....should be excellent & a perfect send-off for my vacation. For some reason Lucy is insisting that I pack early in the week.... guess she doesn't trust me to arrive back from the Origin game in a sensible state!
Most interesting story of week.....2nd most popular boy's name in the UK? Have a guess. It's not Ben, David, Simon or even Lee....it's Muhammed! Definitely a sign of times changing.
