OK enough of the idioms are us! Things here barrel on towards Christmas. I leave Onoda on December 19th. That’s only 11 days away!!! Yikes! I’m spending a night in Fukuoka and meeting an old friend there, should be fun! On the 20th I fly out of Fukuoka and visit Taiwan (I think) and Hong Kong (for 9 hours! Shop, shop, shop!) I arrive in London Heathrow at 5.05am and am planning to spend the day there with Abby and, hopefully, Linda. In the evening I’m due to meet a couple of fellow posters from the X Marks The Scot forums.
