A shower and the world is a better place

So facebook thinks it 10:25pm and probably so does my body, but I’m not letting it believe it.

I’m sat in the business lounge at Sydney (after a bit of good luck) having my ‘second’ breakfast - well actually third if i count the one on the plane.

So the story so far ...

Left Dyserth on Friday lunchtime and got the train to London, then the tube out to Heathrow, got checked in, went through security and got some dinner. By the time all that was done with I got a call from one of my colleagues to see if i was about and wanted to meet up - he was across the bar from me, lol.

The six of us that were travelling out had a beer and a natter (and i saw my first ground plan for the show) and then we boarded. Turned out that i was sat separately to the rest of the team, which was a blessing in disguise. We flew out at 11pm.

I slept a little on the way to Bangkok and over breakfast got chatting to the lassie sat next to me. She was flying back to Sydney and had a complimentary voucher for the Quantas business lounge at Sydney that expired on Monday, as she couldn’t use it she offered it to me. At this stage i thought it was a nice idea.

After the stop off at Bangkok and flight to Sydney i was feeling really smelly and tired - forcing my body to accept it was coming up for 6 am on Sunday, rather than 8pm on Saturday was becoming more and more challenging. It was about now that I discovered that the best things in life are business lounge showers. I took a photo to share my excitement with you, but on reflection i was going to be posting a picture of a shower room with toilet & sink, and didn’t think you would share my excitement, so I deleted it. However at 7am/ 11pm it was the best shower in the world and all I wanted.

I’m now on my third cup of tea (but I want a mug), have had a round of toast, fruit, a danish and more fruit - the world is well. I’m sat in the window and would take a picture for you, but its a view of the back end of an airport and there is a dam good reason the windows are covered with heavy net curtains. I fly out to Auckland in two hours so guess I should make the most of the WiFi, power point, tea and toast while I can.

The Night before i leave and a bit of an introduction

so its late at night, well really early morning and I have finally added a blog app to my facebook. I thought this might be the easiest way to keep you all up to date with what i get up to in New Zealand and Australia.

I guess a little bit of background wouldn't go a miss, facebook being as it is most of you will find out about this three months from now.

2 weeks ago i got a job out of the blue, ASM/ book cover on Cinderella on Ice, for a year. Opening in New Zealand, then a month later transferring to Australia, then three months after than transferring to the UK. So that was two weeks back and i’m due to leave at about 12ish later today to get to Heathrow to be on the 10pm plane to Sydney. Leave London on Friday and arrive in Auckland on Sunday! OMG thats ages on planes.

Anyway as you might have gathered i’m rambling and really quite tired, but absolutely wired.

So the plan is I will add to my blog regularly with what i have been up to. Rather than receiving impersonal emails you can each have a wee look when you like and read an impersonal news letter, but BUT there should be photos too, so really it all makes sense.
