Preparations!

With my trip to Malta becoming more and more imminent by the minute preparations needed to be completed. Shopping seemed to be the only way to remedy the majority of my shortcomings, and so the day before yesterday, Hayley and I jumped on a bus and trundled into Southampton to buy all those little things I was missing.

The main problem was that I didn't actually have a suitcase for my hold luggage. This was fairly quickly remedied with a bright pink one (which will make it easy to spot of course). After a few small hiccups we actually managed to get everything I needed, including presents for Mark and his family and a new (and very awesome) swim suit for me. All in all the day was great, and made greater by the addition of the Hayley sleeping over rather spontaneously, and of course animated movies.

Yesterday was a good day too. I finally got my Internet connection in my room sorted out so I can now run Guild Wars, Spotify and Skype simultaneously and almost without lagging, which is a feat in itself considering the terrible speed of my connection. I played Guild Wars and had a skype conversation with Mark, Alf and Hayley last night, which was fun and unexpected. Hopefully tonight will be as good as last night was, with perhaps a little more productivity.

It rained here this afternoon, which was nice, though of course we could use a little more, especially from my personal perspective. Hopefully it won't rain too much on the day of my flight, though I realise that it probably won't be raining when I reach Malta.

I can't wait to see Mark again.
Until later, dear readers.
