Big Party

I'm exchanging contracts on the house I'm selling, today. The house I'm selling so I can spunk all the money on travel.

This requires a big party, so I can persuade myself it's real.

I've exchanged contracts before. I know it's still likely to go wrong. It's 14 months since I started dreaming of this journey.

Doesn't matter, though. All anyone is going to talk about to me tonight at the party is Hawaii.

I shall smile enigmatically. Remind them it's not sold yet.
