OZ -22: Countdown has begun...

With only three days officially left at work now (but probably about seven or eight left unofficially) and with some other people (who had sensible Easters actually at Easter) having finished work for the summer completely, I thought it was about time to start looking forward to the holidays.



The last time I did this properly was in 2005 when I went off to New Zealand and it's been really good to look back at the blog and the photos from them to remember what we did and saw, what with memory failing through age, early onset Alzheimers etc.



Being as I'm going nearly as far again this time, I have decided to "temperately"* interrupt this blog (no imposition as I haven't written on it since April and no-one reads it anyway...!) and produce a self-contained "interactive postcard" of...







(I really spend too much time on the computer...)



There are several good reasons for this:

1. It's cheaper than phoning people;


2. You don't have to master any foreign language to buy stamps for real postcards (in this case, Australian...);


3. It's a good back-up for all the photos in case the memory card goes tits-up;


4. It saves making a real scrapbook like I used to do when I was little (my OCD meaning that I would only ever buy John Hinde postcards...);


5. It will give Ann Crocker something to read (I still have a dog in my boot that's hers... fluffy, not real, so don't phone the RSPCA...);


6. It will divert attention away from the fact that I have failed Project366 (but kept going longer than some...).
