Moved on? ....... yup, moved on. Took the long way round; and landed right back. In Indonesia.

Ter-balik. Kembali. Returned. This time Jakarta town.

And so .......... seems Blogging, is also on it's way back. [Into fashion once again], just like that. We can thank Instagram for that. Keep your eye on BLOG.STAGRAM. I think some interesting things are going to start happening there.

So, initially, I thought I'd post this big long list of all that's happened. Things I have/ haven't done, or learnt, or not (spanning my elapse). Will save us all a bit of time and just skip right over that.

So here we are. In Jakarta. On the edge of Christmas, the Rainy Season and 2014.

Let's do this! Let's see if any body notices - we're back.

Good to Go!

ALL OVER THE MAP

Couldn't decide what pic I wanted to use today. Day or night? Day or night? Oh, what the heck ........ why not just use both? Right?

By the way - it's not raining in the day-time pic. It's called smog. Jakarta Smog. And it really isn't even that bad. (least not for Jakarta, anyway) And just so you know, in Balikpapan if it's not raining - the sky is blue. There's definitely a lot to be said for a small place.

Ok, so about the all over the map bit. Well, here's the deal. I am going to be all over the map for the next couple of weeks. Doing all kinds of stuff. So ............ the Blog as you will soon see, is going to take a backseat to all the rest. That doesn't mean I'm calling it quits or anything like that. It just means I might not be very consistent over the next little bit. (just trying to give you a little heads-up about that)

Question of the day? What's the heck is up with Garuda these days? Why are all their planes late? Hours and hours late in fact! Nothing like sitting in and waiting in the airport.

TODAY: Drink lots of green tea in between all the other stuff I need to do.

Ok, Good to Go!

HELLO OCTOBER


Hello October. Wholly - Molely! (I'm not even sure how to spell that) What a bunch of days it's been. No boredom around here - I can certainly tell you that.

Let's start with the very busy weekend we had, and most of it - without internet. We had a big darts night. (loads of fun) A very big farewell party. (100 people +) A great F1 Sunday. (best race to date I think so far) and a rush to get some plane tickets and to pack-up a suitcase.

A quick trip to the big city for the first part of this week. Jakarta. Yes Jakarta is BIG. I'm not really certain how many people live there 17 or 19 million perhaps. I can't imagine how anyone would even be able to keep track. What ever the case, in a lot of other places in the world - that would be the size of a whole country in fact. This was not really an unplanned event, but true to Balikpapan style - it was a bit last minute. Anyways - great trip. And now I'm safely back.

.... and then of course. Completely, and totally missed the BLOGOVERSARY yesterday. Imagine. (?) And I even had great stuff planned for that. Like Celebrate! So for those of you who don't know what a Blogoversary is; it means I've been at this Blog thing for 1 whole year. And this - from a person who really doesn't have much talent or even the ambition to write. Even I have a hard time imagining that.

TODAY: Not sure where to begin. Need to do little bit of catching-up on things first I think.

This morning I'm sorting through what seems like a million emails and what I need to/should do and don't need to do. Quite possibly, if had a real job - I'd actually have less to do I think. Wholly - Molely!

......... and a big welcome back to my friend today too. I think it's time for a fortnight lunch pretty soon - don't you think?

Ok, better get a go on. Good to Go!
