Have just left a commment on a blog (Missus Moog, I think) and the word verification was 'ANTSY' and that just about sums us up now.
After a month exactly since we left frozen, grey old Blighty the terences and myself begin the epic journey home. It took CK 40 hours from take-off to arriving back ontop the hill but I have a horrible feeling ours will be some many years longer. My best guess at the moment is 6.38 years.
The bags are mostly packed, I have found my sunglasses and my new shoes (was wearing both on Sat. if those in attendance would like to fondly remember my footwear - you didn't see them? Oh! I suppose most of the time I was barefoot but it is the only way to enjoy a Ceasar Salad Pedicure, don't you know ;-) and after a very sleepless night last night this morning the nice man confirmed the existence of my passport on their system and booked me and the terences in!
Princess Curly-Wurly has been in tears because she wants to go home now please and also because she doesn't want to have to say goodbye to her cousins and beloved Grandmother.
destructo-Boy is ready to go home because he misses his daddy.
I just wish someone would invent a teleporter because I have a horrible feeling the time it takes to get home will just keep on rising!
Thanks for being with me on The Great Trip Home.
Trash Can Do Anything! (The not-so-secret diary of life and stuff in a hilltop town.)
go on Trash - you can do it. Think of the delightful drizzle that awaits you on top of the hill.
ReplyDeleteUm, I think I'd rather stay down there in Oz land.
You did book first class, didn't you? No? Shit. It's going to be a loooooooong journey then.
Well I'm wishing for a speedy and peaceful journey home for you Trash! Can't wait to hear all about your Grand Adventures when you get home!

Are you nearly there yet?!
ReplyDeleteCrikey, that month has gone quickly hasn't it? :-O I can hardly believe it's been that long. Can't wait to have you back though - just think, there have probably been Policemen parking on yellow lines and in inappropriate places. This country needs you Trash!

Wishing you a safe journey Trash... as speedy and stress free as possible. Will good to have you back here!
ReplyDeleteHere's wishing you an as-pleasant-as-possible return to the top of the hill, Trashy. Are you going to treat all your mates to a salad pedicure, or will the weather be too cold (you know, cold and wet and drizzly, not 35 degrees and brilliantly sunshiny like today is going to be in Ballarat - and as for yesterday...
ReplyDeleteWow the time has flown by quick as a flash... so now you're leaving 40 degree heat and heading back to snow?
ReplyDeletemmmm, a few sleeping pills might help...not that that would be advisable for children....
ReplyDeleteHope you have a really safe and not so stressful trip home. Can't imagine it really! We flew Brisbane to Melbourne a few months back and I was getting bored after two hours! Thinking of you! Hope you had a great stay in Australia. :)
ReplyDeleteOooh - let's hope it's as smooth, quick and hassle-free as it can possibly be!
ReplyDeleteIt'll be good to get you back where you belong ....in the cold, grey, did I mention cold? and damp UK. Hope you've got your thermals in your hand luggage!

Well. if it is any consolation I"M ANTSY TOO. Strangely I can't wait for you to get home - strange because you being home still doesn't mean we can sit an have a cuppa...
ReplyDeleteWishing Scottie would beam you up to the hill top :)
Safe - and stress-free travels old girl,
xx
