And so it begins...
So after saying I was getting checked out by the doctor today I failed to get up on account of feeling so ill.. so I may be stealing an appointment off someone else tomorrow but to be honest I have almost made my mind up to stick two fingers up to the lymph nodes and chest pain.. I'm still here, I'm still alive, so why worry.
So, an interesting title to this blog entry.. why you may ask? Well it started off as a joke for those who were out on Saturday night to celebrate my birthday. I think it was Kim who suggested that the best thing to do with the joke birthday present which Paul and Claire gave me (a pack of penguin biscuits) was to save the purple wrapped one and take it with me to New Zealand to save incase of food emergencies.. Well afew glasses of wine later it had turned into a full on 'quest' to bring the penguin biscuit all round New Zealand and back again. The best travelled penguin biscuit in the world! Possibly..
So I shall take on this challenge as I don't like to disappoint. Let's see if I can get it back without it melting or in crumbs.
The countdown is on and I'm sitting in my room surrounded by backpack, sleeping sack and the mountain of clothes I have yet to sort out what I'm taking..
