the 10th of january - 4 weeks to go

To those who have visited lately, firstly thankyou for putting up with my absence and my testing of the new comments addition I have made.

Oddly I can't seem to make the font the same as the rest of the blog (and yes I am using CSS) but at least its there. so if you want to make a comment on any of my rambling please click on the link at the end of this banter.

So what have i been doing lately? Actually I have been off work for a couple of days suffering with a bit of a gastric problem capped off with a 2 day headache. Nothing I can do except rest and eat the right things and keep comfortable. Luckily for work though the concept of the internet maeks it somewhat more easy to be able to do bits from home and send them on in.

The trip is looming fast and I am really not ready at all. Tomorrow I head to the travel agent to change my itinerary yet again! I have decided to wing it though and see where I end up accomodation wise. For anyone who really knows me they would know that that's not me at all :)

I am also building a little site to follow my travels. It will show you all my destinations, my galeries of shots and I am starting a travelblog too. Don't worry, I won't neglect tis one, but here I will be more likely to add my listings of what I have found and pointing you to my other one for a couple of moonths whilst I traipse around the globe.

The Mirror project posted my most recent shots this week too. click here for the last three. It is my goal on my trip to have a mirror shot from each city I visit.

I have instigated a forum on my new travel site too. Its not live yet but I have put a password protect on it. Do you wnat access? If so email me, tagboard me or leave me a comment (email is best) and I'll see what I can do.

my link suggestions:
fun: Not the same old one that has been emailed around, new ones everyday. If you don't know what I'm talking about check out the secret diaries of the lord of the rings.
cool: For those of you wiht an iPod (unless you are much smarter than me which you probably are) you probably haven't necessarily found the iPod lounge. And I was just looking for an updater... there are loads of applications, accessories and general iPod coolness to be found!
site of the day: or in the case you read this tomorrow... check out "yesterday". Harrumph! - a daily read of mne and half the globe... but I especially loved her monologue about my favorite vegetable, Asparagus.

blogger bits: Looking for a comments system? look no further than ennetation.
Rannie launches the photobloggies awards.
I have also discovered a new daily blog for me to read (also gorgeously designed)escribitionist, Check her out!

diaryupdates: Did I mention that my brother has announced his engagment? Well before that its his birthday on Feb 6th, Who knows I may even be able to spend it with him in Europe :)


blatent plug: or call to action...Please put yourself on my guestmap

Thanks also this week to Kristal for her lovely "welcome back we missed you" message, to Coudal for mentioning me in the quiz answers, to Hugh and Eric for their travel suggestions and to all my new guestmap friends from around the globe.
