Xmas is just a welcome occasion to fly away to warmer climate. It's a fact that every 2-3 months I need to get out of England to capture a glimpse of the sun - however short -, and to find culture and class, to revel with good cuisine, watch people dressed stylishly and who take care of themselves and where I don't have to listen to vile chavs, ghetto shits and Eastenders in search for the nearest watering hole to get blasted in gallions of Stella.
I'm all packed, BA's strike's been outlawed by a sensible court, Heathrow's runways are all cleared - ready for take-off for the 12 hour journey this evening. Left behind is, way up north, someone special, who'd be reason enough to make life in England sufficiently alluring to forget all other travails. Some day, maybe...
Next update will be in a few days from Stellenbosch where we make our home base, with festivities and feasting all organised within capable hands at location. For New Year's dinner I prepared six hours of New Year's concerts' music, all waltzes, marches and polkas, which should please mother and others. But I also included Lily Allen's "Fuck You" in the list, and on random selection ya never know when it will play. Giggling already to watch the folks' reaction... LOL
Regular news gathering and disseminating service will resume after my return on January 10th, 2010. "Twenty-ten" is so much easier over my lips than the past 9 years have been. LOL
To the network of friends and correspondents, a Merry Christmas, and lots of fun and good health in the New Year. To the One: stay warm and safe, get your heart in sync with the brain to embrace what beautiful times lie ahead, look forward to the good things and, most of all, stay as you are.
