new year, new you?

so new year, new you?

i have no new years resolutions, except the one i just came up with, which was to update this more often, because i was enjoying it, and its not like i dont have the time. seeing as i am married to my computer. or i could get an app on my phone to aid this also. frankly there is no excuse for having not updated in nearly a month. missing christmas and new year. except that my parents were here. and i was there. and gerrit was there. and luzie was here. and christopher was also here. basically i had all my most important people in one room for christmas, which was lovely.

i have decided i'm leaving at the end of may, with a family holiday to turkey with my parents to round it all off. and then i shall see how things go with mr g. the thing that currently pains me the most is the thought of not curling up next to him to go to sleep every evening. tragic i know. maybe we'll have a massive fight, or disagreement, and things will end anyway. i don't know. never been in this territory before. its terrifying! in two weeks we'll have been together for 6 months, which seems like an entire lifetime, from when we started sleeping in his little bed, then to the floor in the lounge, then to the floor in here, and now finally we have our own bed. with our own mattress. in our own little flat.

freyja and i have booked our plane tickets, rugby tickets, bus tickets and a few hostels, and we're now just trying to fill the gaps with people who will kindly look after us for a few days at a time. ronnie and tony have just moved to brisbane, and aunty Linda and uncle Ian have just joined tracy and jason out in melbourne.

Went home for a few days at new year with Gerrit, which was nice, Oma is in hospital having fallen and had a hip replacement, so we shall also see how that goes, i imagine she will move in with mum and dad at home. mum let me drive the alfa, which was also fabulous and then last night dad booked us a room at the Radisson, so that no-one had to drop us off at the airport at 2am. Everything went swimmingly with Ryanair this morning, except their noisy announcements, and pinickety hand luggage restrictions, and we are both back at the Bissnitz in one piece, ready to start work again tomorrow.
