Nearly Time!

It's just hit me that I only have 2 & a half days before I travel to England. That has come around so fast! Cue slight feelings of panic that will no doubt increase over the next couple of days. Th weather report for the UK & Cornwall doesn't help. They are now forecasting new storms to hit on Friday, the day we travel! It's lucky that I had booked to travel from the airport by coach, as the main rail line into the county is still hanging in mid air, & the other route is submerged in the floods of Somerset. We have had such lovely warm sunny weather here in Crete over the past week that it is difficult to imagine.

This past Sunday I had a leaving do. Not a big one, just a few friends at our house. It was a very enjoyable afternoon, but tinged with sadness too. It may be a long time before I see them again. Thank God for Facebook & social networking, so I can keep in touch with them. On the plus side, I'll get to see friends in UK again. It works both ways.

In addition to seeing friends & worrying about my packing (I'm still having issues getting my trunk transported) I have also modernised my hair. A new start deserves a new look, that type of thing. I needed something to boost my confidence, as all this change makes me feel a bit insecure. So I went for the chop, & have got a hairstyle that highlights my eyes & cheekbones, & distracts from the bits I don't like. I've also refreshed the colour. I am very happy with the results. I just hope I can find a hairdresser in the UK who can do just as good a job, without charging a small fortune.

Oh well, I'd better get back to the tidying, packing, & panicking. The next blog will probably come from the UK, unless I can get a quick one in before I go. In the meantime, maybe I should look for a pair of these shoes:
