Sooooooo after taking the plunge and writing my first post, I didn't do another post for the remainder of 2015.
My bad!
However, with the greatest of intentions and to ring in the New Year, here is my second blog post ever.
As foreshadowed, I have already re-read the last blog post and cringed my way through it. But at least all that introductory gumph is over and done with.
So on to more interesting things. The plans I alluded to in the last post have eventuated and it is all finally official that I am moving to London in March this year!
*COMMENCE LAME DANCING AND BAD SINGING OF LONDON CALLING*

First on my list of Things I need to do before I leave, is apply for a new passport. The scary thing is, it is officially 9 years since I applied for a new one when I was about to leave for Denmark. I lodged the forms late last week and I'm pretty certain that I have an eighties style quiff in my photo. Cyndi Lauper eat your heart out.
In the intervening six months since I last posted a post, I have also decided that since this is the first time in my adult life where I won't have a time constraint, I am going to take my time getting to London. So I bit the bullet and booked a trip to Nepal with a ten day altitude hike. Eeeek!!!!!
However, to complicate matters my flight getting to Nepal has been cancelled once and rescheduled once. The superstitious part of me wants to take this as a sign that I shouldn't do a altitude hike, but the rest of me is just more determined than ever to go to Nepal. Particularly given the hit to the tourist industry following the earthquake.
So at this stage I am busy researching the Annapurna Sanctuary walk, and every type of delicious food I aim to scoff in my face while in Nepal, plus listening to all the horror stories of friends and colleagues who have done altitude hikes. All I can say is gimme some of those Diamox baby!
As the countdown progresses to 70 days until I fly out, I am ramping up the training and the preparation for 'The Big Move'. I intend* to update this website with my preparations and hopefully give myself something to look back on and laugh/groan at.
So read on dear reader, and leave me a comment if you have any tips for Nepal or London... restaurant recommendations most highly welcome!
