Still Planning

Well here I am 3 days later and still researching material for our trip as if I'm swotting for an exam.!! Hope I don't get tested. I've printed off more pages, single sided, double sided that could keep a litter tray supplied for a lifetime, mind you if it was a cat tray, it would be a short life.!!

May has indicated she will ask some favours for information on Singapore which I thank her for in advance, (now the pressure is on her), and I have browsed various websites to glean as much detail as possible. I'm probably at the stage of overload on with too much information and probably need to sit back and plot a path to suit our timetable and fill in the blanks later. With Gareth and May visiting New Zealand as well, it maybe prudent to hold off on doing a full plan until they get back, hopefully with some good suggestions that fit our needs.

I probably would have done more over the week end except for the arrival of a 'wii', which then occupied my spare time and attention 100%. Having set up the machine I spent many a happy hour creating the characters of those who will be allowed to play on the machine. Needless to say having created myself (handsome chappy), 'her in doors', my swampy pals and the kids, the eldest turned up on Sunday and immediately decided to change his profile (spoil sport), so I hate to think what Gareth and May will think of theirs when they turn up. We then spent the rest of Sunday evening playing tennis and ten pin bowling, I must say you can certainly get a sweat up playing those games, benefit being we had to turn off the central heating, I reckon its like an investment as the money we save on the central heating will pay back the original outlay for the wii. Another 10 years and it'll have paid for itself.

I'm enjoying reading Gareths blog at the moment, he's still keeping it interesting with the odd photo thrown in via 'flickr' for good measure. Seems to have a good following as well, maybe will have to write a book, become a second Bill Bryson. On the photo's side I need some advice on how to do a 'badge' as having registered with them I cannot find how to create the collage of pictures as seen on Gareth's, If he reads this somewhere out east he may be able to give me some hints.

Anyway, I've been told its my bathtime (you're never to old to be told), so I need to finish this and if I'm good I might get another custard cream with my cup of tea. Here's to the next time.
