Good things come to those who wait!

I just have to wait a little bit more.

Been daydreaming about the next couple of months, and who can blame me. Work has been stressful (for once) and I'm in need of a good break, and I have that to look forward to in two weeks!

The break will start with our staff party on an island that happens every end of expedition. Although this will be the 10th time I'll have been to Pulau Tiga, I still look forward to it with the same amount of excitement as I did the first time. With all the hard work we put in, being on a secluded island with good company and an ample supply of booze is SUCH a good reward!

I can already imagine myself in the clear blue waters with a beer in my hand, asking awful 'would you rather' questions!

And then, not long after that, I will be on an aeroplane, on an 18 hour flight to London! I'm looking forward to seeing friends and family, but there are a couple of exciting things lined up for the 5 weeks I'll be there for.

Ok, my heart is actually beating a little faster. I think the fourth coffee of the day might be part of the blame :P

I'll be wasting no time at all with jetlag and all of that nonsense. Arriving at 10pm will be perfect for going straight to bed and waking up absolutely refreshed and fine the next day. I'm spending Easter weekend with my relatives there and am so excited about this! Must remember to take my running shoes with me as my uncle is an absolute fiend in the kitchen and I know there will be yummy curries and briyanis to be had.

Not sure whose family this is but I picture our Easter lunch to be similar in appearance!

Some of my friends are getting together to organise a hike around Cuckmere Haven and Beacy Head and after the hike, we'll be sitting down in Brighton for some well deserved beers! I can't wait!

I'm also excited about going sailing on a little yacth. Yatch. Yacht. I asked D if there were any skills I'll need to learn for this weekend boat trip. He said drink beer and look cool. Already a pro at that so we're all set!

 Then it's a week at work at Waterloo, and although the universal notion of work for normal people (including colleagues) is 'boring' and 'blech', I'm looking forward to this too. Well thank goodness I'm slightly nuts, 'cause then I'll be enjoying the weeks instead of dreading it!

I will also be going to the Rugby Sevens World Series in Twickenham while I'm there! I'm not a big sports fan, but it's not because I'm disinterested. I'm definitely not going to be disinterested when it's going to be a sport with big burly men running around in shorts.

I can't wait :)
