Mistakes

I'm finally gaining some sense of urgency (six weeks and two days to go), and doing something every day. Which makes for more frequent posting here, I suppose. Sorry about that.

Today I worried, very inconsequentially, about jet lag. Not the jabs I need, the personal banker I need to see, the horrendously low IQ that made me book the MOT I need to sell my car on a bank holiday, not the emergency dentist appointment I need so that one of these days I can actually eat again without having to numb the worstearthshakingagonyIeverfelt (tm) with alcohol rubs (what, rubbing your liver doesn't count?) ... so today, I booked a youth hostel dorm for every night just after a really majorly draining long flight.

Bear in mind that I live in Europe. Thusly, I think forty minutes is a long way to go to get to another country.

Think also about that starvation level insomnia exaggerated rage obscured low IQ.

Yes, I forgot all the time zones.

I mean really, is it so unreasonable to expect that if you set off at X, then a four hour flight to Y will get you there within the same day?

Noooooooooooo. I arrive two days later. In one instance, a day earlier.

I added them up. Overall, I lose three days.

Where do they go?

So now I have to telephone Auckland from work, making me even more popular than when I forgot to turn up this morning, change all my reservations. The reservations that really didn't need doing till late June.

One thing mainly useful, at least. If by any chance you're planning some travelling too. This.
