day one

Greg's first entry, finally here day one, after 2 yrs of planning/ arguing and 2nd thoughts, for those about to embark on the same journey (this one is for you al), the enormity of the situation hits you like a sledgehammer, it started at the all you eat asian buffet at the hotel restaurant in singapore yesterday, for those who know me know this is a nice place for me to be, but when offered delights such as pigs stomach soup i went away eating only a few beansprouts and boiled rice this was followed by the undercook chicken burger at the burger king at changi airport only to be let down by a tray of what could be only described as *~@*# (censored due to the rele's reading this blog) on the plane, all of this is probably of no particular significance to the untrained eye, but to those who know me it set me up for a very bad hair day. As i am writing this i feel better now but a couple of hours of ago i was definately comtemplating what the hell have i done and when is the next plane back. Met a relative for the first time today, helen (3rd cousin) and tony, great people who pulled out the stops to make sure we were okay on arrival, but as we were driving to our first port of call (a shoe box for a caravan overlooking a stunning beach) the panic set in and so did the doubts (jet lag did not help), at this moment in time we are of no fixed abode and where we start i have no #*^#~@~ idea, think about being dropped in liverpool for the first time and then someone saying, go and find a house, that was when the panic set in and for a minute i dropped the insensitive, first through the door (those at ashworth will know what i mean) image, anyway i am back to being me now, bread is a rip off, the adventure continues.

Lakey, still not finished the book.
