It looks like I can go to Spain after all! The travel agent did some more juggling, and if I fly Bilbao-Madrid-London-Chicago, there’s no problem. It means a couple more hours on a plane, and even more hours sitting around in airports, but considering how many hours I’m going to be doing that anyway on…
I just got back from the pictures and it’s very very late, so I really should go to bed, but I just wanted to say that when I got home there was an email waiting for me from the travel agent, with a confirmed itinerary. YAYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! More details tomorrow. (Between flashbacks of the movie (The…
The good news is, she’s almost managed to sort out our itineraries. YAYYY!!! The bad news is, she’s having trouble with the Spain leg of the journey. She’s got a flight on a cancellation waitlist, but if that doesn’t work out, then my only option for getting to Spain (or rather, getting from Spain to…
I had a very creative day today. More creative than I planned, in fact. I had promised MrPloppy that I’d finish doing bookstrings this weekend, and finally clear the dining table so we could stop eating off our knees. But then we found all those extra beads yesterday.

I still haven’t heard anything from the travel agent – I suspect our complicated intersecting itineraries are causing her some headaches 😉 Maybe on Monday… I have, however, heard back from Deidre, the President of Bookcrossing Singapore.

A couple of weeks ago, I spotted a release alert from microsquid seeming to indicate she was in Christchurch, so I PMed her and invited her to meet the local bookcrossers. She replied that she’d just left Christchurch, but would be coming back through this week, so we arranged to have a meetup last night….
I just had a phone call from the boss to tell me my leave for April has been approved. London (and everywhere else) here I come!!!
Well, I survived my first day back at work. Of course, it was made easier by anticipating the fact that I get another holiday in just three months. Hopefully. I haven’t actually had my leave approved yet. I asked the boss as soon as he came in, but he referred me to his boss, who…
You know that saying about wishing your life away? That kind of feels like what I’ve been doing this week. I’ve spent so much of the week thinking about my holiday in April that I’ve somehow let the last week of this holiday slip away, and suddenly it’s Sunday night and I’m back to work…
After spending half the night awake panicking about what happens if I book this trip and then don’t find anywhere to stay, I decided to get pro-active today and start seriously begging for accommodation. So I sent an email to the contact for Bookcrossing Singapore and joined their Yahoo group, sent PMs to friendly-looking bookcrossers…
