Still Getting Ready

Still getting things together for the big trip north - whilst trying to mark my daily quota of scripts for IB. Just had to deal with a candidate who decided it was a good idea to write as much as possible in the most illegible form imaginable. Not a good idea, I'm afraid. I wonder if anyone has shared this information with the writer in question in the course of his or her education?

Just received a Christmas card from Simon & Judy, for last Christmas. A quick check on the envelope showed it was posted in mid-December 2021. It also revealed that the card had made its way to Malaysia for some reason. Ironic, since that's where we're heading now. It seems to have taken almost a full six months to re-direct it to the right country. Nice card - and nice that it got here in the end!!

Whose idiotic idea was it to choose to travel up to KL on a public holiday here in Malaysia for the Agung's birthday? (Mine, actually!) Since it seems most of the population decided it would be a good idea to drive up to the capital from the south using the highway the traffic was horrendous. We were lucky to make it to our abode before midnight - hence this late posting. Next time remind me to check on random public holidays for our neighbours.
