Time is (not) on my side

In just over two weeks, we’ll be on a plane bound for Hong Kong. Who’d have thought there’d be so much involved in moving countries?! So much to do, so little time!

Unfortunately, I’ve not been home enough to keep the blog up to date over the last few weeks, so here’s a few updates in brief, ordered in precisely the order that I think of them:

• On Sunday, we returned from four days in Ireland with The Cookes. Overall the trip was lovely – Ireland reminded me a lot of Tasmania, just with way more rain! More on this later, when I’ve had a chance to sort through the photos.
• Kristy had a very successful 31 week scan which confirmed that “everything is as it should be”, which means the doctors are now happy to sign a “safe to fly” letter for her (which many airlines require before they’ll carry a 26+ week pregnant woman). This was the final hurdle which may have prevented our departure!
• We enjoyed a lovely night out with Pat last night at the London branch of the Scotch Malt Whisky Society. I tried three different whiskys and enjoyed each one; the food was also devine! My only regret is not having visited earlier, or better yet – joining the society for myself!
• London is hot at the moment! It’s currently 21°C at 11 PM at night, and suffice to say that London housing is not built for the summer!

That’s all I can think of off the top of my head.
