Pre-flight nerves etc

So, currently trying to hypnotise myself into forgetting the thought that I actually have to get on a plane, although clearly writing it down here brings it back to reality. I guess it could be OK, as first stop in Hong Kong will be something to look forward to - or at least it will now that I've booked the hotel. Otherwise it would have been a rather uncomfortable stay in the airport eating the god-awful food. (Been there, done that - well the food bit.)

Yeah, so I've booked the HK hotel which looks good on the internet (here) and hasn't been totally slated on tripadvisor which is always a good sign. People seem quite honest on there and tripadvisor get nothing by saying somewhere's great if it's not (I assume....). Have just noticed on the hotel website it says the time currently in HK is 9pm and the temperature is 26 degrees C. Mmmmm, toasty!

Spoke to knitwear boy last night, who's off on his hols shortly to Malaysia (sans knitwear, je pense) and he's agreed to a guest blog entry - so watch this space...... (although, don't hold your breath, I believe it's at the end of this month).

Just looked up the weather in Sydney - somewhat unimpressive. Although perhaps a good thing to ease me gently into the scorching summer. Yes, actually that's a much better plan. Will already be stereotypical white-as-a-sheet pom without adding whinging-about-the-weather to the list of reasons they've got to hate me. Enough reasons already I imagine....

4 days to go.....
