One sleep to go...

I got a phone call from my little brother (who is 25) the other day to tell me that he proposed to his GF and she accepted! So I guess that means my brother (who I still think of as 12 years old) is getting married!!! Don`t think that either of them read my blog but thought I would say CONGRATULATIONS on here all the same!!! I am very excited and my future SIL is pretty cool so I am very happy!! :-) So I am nearly ready to leave after two or three nervous breakdowns about what to take on the plane and what not to take on the plane it is all good now. I have decided to put food etc.. in a separate carrier bag that I can just throw out/ fold up as the food gets eaten. Joey has been a little shit all morning though (I guess he is sensing something is up and that something is going to change so isn`t happy) so I am exhausted!! It is also SOOOO hot today. The summer has definitely hit Japan and all I can say is that I am glad to be leaving for the worst of it!!! That said, if I was here we would be going to the beach every day, something we can`t do in London!!! I don`t know if I will have time to blog between now and when I arrive in london but I am going to ask you all to keep me in your thoughts and send me "extra empty seat next to midori" vibes!! I will post as and when I can over the next month! Hope you all have a fab summer!!!
