flying...

wow, over a week since i posted...so not only has the time been flying, but so have i!

treated myself to 4 days in Hong Kong for something of a break and shopping trip before i start on Monday - yep Monday is the big day....was really anxious a coupla weeks ago but now, just excited..

a bit sad today, or perhaps not sad but reminiscent...since my little business will be going on it's own holiday of sorts...at least for now

that said, i had a ball in HK, 4 suits, 1 jacket, 13 pairs shoes, 2 beautiful rings, a variety of other cool stuff, pressies for the fam and my girlfriends, dinner with my lovely friend Dan, dinner with an old uni mate Paul, who i hadn't seen in 21 years - so all in all, a fabulous treat to self! oh, and got upgraded to business class on the way home...yay :-)

tomorrow is officially my last day of being my own boss so am celebrating with some friends with a drink in town - should be fun!

otherwise, life is good...kitchen nearly complete (new oven now too as it decided to die mid renovations...perhaps a sign, so fridge is now looking like the next victim of the 'freshen up'...), have fabric samples for lounge/dining room blinds (just need to decide on which one i like), am about to order new furniture for lounge and sell the lovely Tessa sofas that have served me so well...

\soooo off to bed now...but am a happy camper despite still being a bit tired post trip, and excited too, coz Monday i have a brand new job, and one i am very excited about :-)

nite

ps happy bastille day to everyone...vive la france!
