Will the last Englishman out of the country turn the lights out please ?

Houston, we have cleared the tower !

Today is a good day. We have finally received the last piece of our jigsaw, K's police report. That is going off to Aus tomorrow, and then we need only 2 more things. The grant letter, and the pink slip in the passport !

Gave up smoking today. Been saying I would do it for a while, but started last night. Dont even really miss them, and everyone says the first 3 days are the worst.

The Merc has had over 1500 people view it on Ebay, with 65 odd people watching it. 7 bids so far, which is great as there are still 3 days left. That should meet the reserve easy, which will swell the bank account some more.

We are at Farnborough on Saturday for the airshow. Scary to think next time we set foot on one of those big birds we are gonna wake up in Australia !
