Well, I am never going to make it as an expat if I don't become friends with my calendar! Weeks fly past and I have neglected any readers of my blog. I think they have given up on me but now that I have resurrected my forgotton password, hopefully that will change.
Christmas saw me in Australia on our large property (compared to our 3 bedroom codo) slaving away. Our holiday place (see Bavarian Hut blog) has now become our Australian home when we meet up as a family. Our tenant looks after the chosen loved ones (my dogs) and I think he is rather happy to see us knowing that we will be leaving soon.
Reality strikes on my return when I try to book a week ahead to go away for a long weekend. Cheeky people have got in before me and being a competitive person I vow to get ahead of them. I have an in built reluctance to refer to my calender but realise that I will have to change my ways.
Obsessively we book short breaks to half a dozen places. I become more knowledgeable with everything geographic although my pronouciation of Asian places is sometimes unrecognisable. Fortunately I meet a helpful long term expat who tries to decipher which countries and places we might enjoy.
We listen to her advice and book to go to Siem Riep in Cambodia. We are on a roll and further book trips to Langkawi island, Penang, Australia and then Perhentian island.
In between our trips,we adapt to the heat, dust and noise which is KL.
