This is a picture of me behaving badly with a pint of Smirff in my hand. Smirff is a cocktail of Smirnoff Ice, WKD Blue with an extra shot of vodka. Quite lethal. The event was my colleague and friend Tanya's 40th birthday party last weekend. My fellow partygoer is another colleague and friend Cheryl. We had a great time.
Plans for my "Oz-Bus" trip in the Spring are progressing well. I've put a sponsorship link on the blog (all donations will be gratefully received by Marie Curie), made a list of all the countries that I will be passing through for my vaccination requirements (Belgium, Germany, Czech Republic, Poland, Lithuania,Latvia,Russia,Trans Siberian Express, Mongolia, China, South Korea, Japan, Alaska, Canada & USA), ordered my rucksack (a Berghaus Jalan 70 + 15 wheeled travel pack) and organised to borrow a sleeping bag, liner and blow up pillow from a friend. This has made a bit of a dent in my "to do" list.
A "pending event" is that I've given a mad interview to Eddie Bluelight for his regular "Sunday Roast" feature. You can catch this from next Sunday on his blog Clouds and Silvery Linings (http://eddybluelights.blogspot.com) This is a great honour. Thanks Eddie.

Great photo of you RAC and your planned trip sounds marvellous. I will be looking out for your interview too. A
You look great,sounds like a great party. Happy 40th to Tanya. I'm so looking forward to your upcoming trek. If you want to stop over in America, we'll be delighted. Flagmaker
You ladies look very happy and that drink is very intriguing!
I'm not sure if progress is the right word grit. I think panic might be more appropriate!
I'm hoping that Eddie is stoking up the fire too Maggie, although maybe an air-conditioner would be more appropriate this week!
Do you know Anne, this is one of the few photographs where I look decent. I'm not at all photogenic.
A stop over sounds great flagmaker. I may take you up on that one. I pass through Seattle anyway so I'm sure we can at least have a coffee together.
The drink is more than intriguing Lisa, it's dynamite.
I've just lit the fire but I thought I might be fairly gentle and use a slow cooker!
See you at about 10am tomorrow, Saturday. Hugs ~ Eddie
OK Eddie, see you for Sunday Roast at 10.00 am tomorrow! But shouldn't it be a Saturday Roast?
Yes it should really but David always cooked the lunch on a little earlier because Australia is ahead of us timewise.
Also it is dead here on a Sunday in BlogLand and not as many people would visit it. So people have got used to seeing it a day earlier here. It is a bit of a problem - perhaps it should be called The Weekend Roast.
Your trip sounds amazing!!!!
I visited Eddie and read your Roast...what fun! I enjoyed meeting you very much!!
