Blog's are like Buses

Hi All,

I was sitting there thinking that blogs are like buses.  You wait and wait for them and then three come along at the same time.  My work is raised to frantic worry proportions; in my mind; now and therefore there is no way I will get round to doing a blog tomorrow.  So here is tomorrows blog today.

I think that makes Blog output from the Fawkes household topped out.  I really do wonder what all those people who've finished exams are really doing with their time.  lol.  I feel I cannot let Joe's comment about age pass without mention.  Thank you kindly Joe for reminding me that I'm old enough to be a Dad.  I think that you will find you have huge connections with Jake on the trip if you continue along this line of discussion.

Ok to Thailand prep.  50% packed, laminated passport done, consent forms drafted and left with Jane to complete all the allergies I certainly couldn't be trusted to remember.  Joe's comments again were helpful here, must sort out those medicines required in foreign parts.  I'm sure Jane will be fully sorted for the second two weeks, but the first week on my own, I think I'll need to be more prepared.

Practically in terms of reflections I really have not had much time to think.  I am excited to be going away with the group and have been looking forward to experiencing the culture of Thailand.  Not really nervous so much this week.  I think there come a point when you can't do any more planning and you just have to get on and do some more doing.  It was great to see Jill at the BBQ and amazing that so many miles away we can be in such close contact.

Anyway thought for the day "Packing", it's never too early to start and a list is always better than ending up without something vital when you are in Thailand.  That being said you are certain to forget something.  Your attitude to that should be, it can't have been that important otherwise I would have remembered it.  Obviously this doesn't apply to passports!!!!!!!

All the best

Pete
