Va-cat-ion

The Creme Eggs are back. TheBloke (TM) clearly knows what's good for him. Well, three are missing, but we shall have words about that later. What I'm most concerned about is that he successfully managed to find a hiding place in the one-bedroomed flat that I couldn't discover. He could have dead bodies there and everything. He probably does, for all I know. To be honest, I'm not that bothered. So long as I get my eggs.

Today was my last day in the office for just over two weeks... On Sunday we have a holi-holiday! (I keep saying it like that. I'm beginning to irritate myself.) We're off to South Africa to visit TheBloke's family and some elephants. We are leaving the cat (hence "va-cat-ion") and the flat in capable hands. I hope to come back with:

- Suntan but no sunburn
- A relaxed attitude... but not unconscious from malaria / spider bites
- A smattering of Afrikaans. Currently all I can say is "Jou ma se pous", which I've been advised isn't the best conversation opener.
- Some Oakley sunglasses. Because I'm worth it.
- Photographs of baby elephants
- And a baby elephant. If it'll fit in the case. If it doesn't, I'd be willing to sacrifice the sunglasses to make room.

Holi-holiday!
