Gone

I'm off! And very excited... or rather, I would be if I could actually think right now - getting up this early is very bad for me. Very very bad for my system.

And no sarcastic comments of, "And yet you still found time at 5am to turn on the computer and write a final blog entry?" because believe me, I appreciate the picture this paints, okay?

As we were loading up the car yesterday with all our packing the front door blew shut. It's one of those doors that you can't open from the outside without a key, so we all turned to each other inquisitively to determine which one of us had taken the front door key with them in case the door blew shut.

Go on, guess.

In the end my dad climbed over the side gate with the aid of a ladder - it's a 6-foot gate with a brick arch over the top of it - since luckily we'd left the back door open. Disaster averted :)

I'm not quite going to be 100% computer-free for the next two weeks because I am being an idiot and taking my old laptop along with Mandrake Linux installation CDs and instructions. This is clearly a huge mistake, since when it all goes horribly wrong I won't be able to email anyone to argle at them, but it'll at least provide me with something else to do on rainy days should I ever get bored (gasp!) of reading.

Anyway. Coastal France, here I come :)
