I can feel the London buzz already...

5 days to go and I'm already getting into London mode. Watched a dodge movie this morning (it had Rob Lowe in it)that was set in London, and every time it cut to a london scene I thought "ooh I want to be there". Which brings up the question why am in Hong Kong? I do like Hong Kong, but I don't feel the London buzz. At the moment, I just assume its the whole settling in thing, but I think I need to give it a time. For example, stick it out til April next year and then decide. Now he's a stupid thought for you - I'm turning 30 next August and I do not want to be going along with this level of job satisfaction and life in limbo-ness by then. So I guess April is the cut off, so that by my birthday next year I'll have some vague direction in my life. Or something....

This week is going to be crazy. I should be tidying the flat as Sarah arrives on Tuesday night and I'm out monday night - but instead I'm watching tv and blogging..
I have Mon - wed at work, then Thursday hang out with Sarah and thursday night fly to LONDON!!! Ok before I let you know about my week - check out what I have planned for my holiday:
Friday - Arrive London (early) meet Will at the airport, head to Waterloo for reunion with Katie K and coffee before Eurostaring to Paris.
Sat/Sun - Paris with Will, so no doubt plenty of coffee, catch up and perving - YAY!
Sun night - Family dinner in a lovely pub with hopefully a load of my london friends, including Trudes & Chris & Char - Woohoo.
Mon night - Dinner with Vinnie & Doreen - yay for home cooking!
Tues/wed - hanging out in London with friends - no plans yet but should be fun.
Thursday - Spend day & night in Glasgow with Struth - and check out her lovely flat.
Friday - fly to Dublin to spend the weekend with RM & Beth (and Will for a bit, and maybe Jen too ). No doubt will be a crazy wkend
Monday - fly back from Dublin - London and then onto Hong Kong. Arrive Tuesday night - return to work Wednesday.
I cant wait for my holiday..
Until then I have 3 crazy days of work and Sarah arrives Tuesday night. Unfortunately I also start spanish tuesday night, so need to work out some random plan with Sarah. Monday night dinner with Mira and wednesday dinner with the girls - so should be pretty busy til I go.
Plan for today - run to the shop to buy laundry detergent (and croissant for breakfast). Spend an hour or 2 tidying the flat, ready for Sarah's arrival (oh and Mandy will be staying while I'm away so it needs to be actually tidy not pretend tidy). Then head to Causeway bay to check out a couple of gyms, and spend a gift voucher - then off to the movies with Mandy and her friends. We're going to see "Devil Wears Prada" - should be a lovely girly afternoon. Alright off to the shops - sorry for the lack excitement in my blogs lately - I'm feeling a bit blah (yes Ebby - a feeling). My Hong Kong life is making me boring - and I aint boring ;) Thankfully a holiday is on its way....
