It was a rainy Sunday afternoon...

...and how is it that I can't make a single weekend plan and have it stick? Work was flummoxed yesterday morning when the server went down, chores in town were flummoxed by laziness and a desire to finish The Kashmir Shawl, I've not yet preserved a single lemon, and then everything I was going to do to catch up this morning was flummoxed when what would normally have been an hour's chat with my mum on the phone turned into three and a quarter hours!

During the course of that three and a quarter hours, as well as wandering through mum and dad's old photos (her via photo albums, me via folders with scans of the photos made by my sister in no apparent order and with no regard for chronology/any writing on the back) and just being interested, I glanced at some old family tree notes from over a dozen years ago and saw that a third cousin of mine married into the van Niekirk family... (she later divorced him... *g*)

On top of all that, I've barely set foot out of the house all weekend, and having decided that I must get some exercise today, every time I look out the window it's raining...

Can I be here now, please?


Oh, or failing that - where shall I go for a brief but sunnily exotic break in March? Which is, after all, why I've kept on with more than just my boring day job... Where, where where? Where would you go? Where shall I go? I need to make actual plans so that I go somewhere! Thoughts? Recommendations? *g*

New Zealand. :-D

D'you know, it's rather been on my mind to go back to New Zealand after all - I'd like to spend more time there (though I'm not sure how I could unless I actually found a job out there for a while... which I might keep half an eye out for, because I want new adventure! Plus I keep remembering our week-of-tramping-with-Mr-Alicambs, and that I ended up feeling sooo much fitter in just that short time! Plus excellent coffee... *eyes job vacancy pages*...)
