Earworms and Curious Thoughts

I have been plagued by an earworm all day today. so let me sing a little of it for you and maybe purge it from my head. (or else spread the disease)

“Oh Lord it’s hard to be humble
When you’re perfect in every way
I can’t wait to look in the mirror
Cause I get better looking each day”


It's all my brothers fault... (you know who you are...) who showed me a video clip of his friend playing it.


I have been plagued with curious dreams of late. It must be the stress of events coming up in the next few months doing it to my head. I wake up in the morning going "Huh? what was that person doing in my dreams?" or else sitting in traffic wondering how it is that in my dreams the storyline made any sense. I would blog about all teh stressful events but some things have had enough airtime on my blog already.

But speaking of forthcoming events...

I finally booked my holiday trip! I am going to a place with deserts and camels and food-with-couscous and pointy toe Aladdin shoes and bazaars and beautiful ceramics and mint tea...



...aaah Morocco. (I meant to add pictures here - no such luck Thanks Blogger)



I am effectively travelling alone and joining a tour group when I am there. Then I will have a spare day at the end for last minute shopping. People are astonished to hear that Mr Thursday is not coming with me. (In his defence he has just adopted a 1-series) But I am actually looking forward to going on my own (Not that MrT wasn't welcome...)

The general response seems to be polite envy and curiousity as to why I chose such an exotic place. (for me the word exotic usually conjures up images of damper places... like the South Pacific or a Jungle...)


There is something really adventurous and really independant about travellling alone. You have to look after your self and be responsible for your self. ... and for the creatively minded you could choose your own personality for yourself... on the short term...

The only slightly sad thing is that I will be sitting in the Abu Dhabi airport for New Years - The key to a good New Years I guess is very very low expectations...
