Had a bit of time and, since I'm trying to keep up with this blogging thing, thought I'd get a blog in.
Had a lazy day yesterday - spent the morning doing laundry and hanging pictures, getting ready for The Visit (that would be my parent's visit). Went to the shops in the afternoon and stopped by the pub for a drink and a good old chin-wag with my two favourite bartenders. Luckily the place was very quiet, so we could talk without too much interruption.
Had a lovely MSN chat with my uncle this morning (pictured here with me in Greece). He has his son (Eddie) and his son's sister (Martha) with him at the moment so he put them on vido conference so I could see them and chat with them a bit online. It was very cool. His son is exactly the same age as Paul's girls (they were born 6 days apart), so I could kind of figure out his developmental stage. He sounds like a fun kid. He may be over in London with his mom sometime soon, so I'm hoping to actually meet him then, although I can't imagine flying from Australia to England with a 7-year-old. That's a long flight for an adults, never mind a kid!! But, people do it all the time, and with younger children than that. Different strokes for different folks.
I've started trying to get in shape and do something about this body of mine. A friend from Calgary and I were texting last night and he got me motivated and is going to help keep me motivated. I was up early this morning, did a 40-minute cardio walk, and had a bowl of shredded wheat and grapes, no sugar. I hope I can keep this up. I am really sick of my clothes all being so tight and never having any energy. I am going to really try to lean on my friend to help with the willpower (which I am seriously lacking!).
Well, should get back to work. Ciao for niao!!

Hey, glad you're back...I'm one of the sad vicarious travellers, although not actually that sad. I love the way you write about places (explaining things like I'd never been there...cause I haven't) and say things like "autumn" instead of fall...I'd never know these things otherwise.
I'm glad you put a picture of yourself on here. I gave your site address to my sister-in-law a few weeks back and she wouldn't believe me that this is you. She said "it's just some lady travelling around all over Europe...and what the heck is Chiswick??" Anyway...the picture should help convince her if she ever checks your site out again...
Hope you're having a good week
