I'm sitting here in the office, just waiting until 3:15 pm, because that'll be exactly 24 hours before we are due to fly from ABZ to LHR and I can then check in online and print off our boarding passes. I've already done the LHR-KUL-ADL ones with Malaysian Airlines - they allow you to do it 48 hours before the flight.
I hope we're all well tomorrow. I've still got my cough - although it's easier than it was a few days ago - and I've now developed a bloodshot eye - where did that come from? Is it just a symptom of the cough and cold I've had for the last 10 days, or is it the first sign of something new coming along? I hope not the latter.
Jo's still treating her sore shoulder as well - another visit to the physio today. It could be an uncomfortable flight for her.
Anyway, looking forward to seeing some Australian daylight - there's not much here at this time of year.
Ross had plans to do his last minute Xmas shopping today. He was planning to take Jo's car and go in to town, then head off to drop off all our surplus food from Sunday at Inverurie. Hope he manages to squeeze it all in - he's still got to pack as well. Come to that, I've still a bit to do as well.
Otherwise, I think we're all set to go. I thought I would take the chance to have a couple of rants before we left so I've added some to my Pet Hates Blog.
I was away on Saturday but the weather wasn't too exceptional inland, but I first heard about "The Perfect Storm" in the media on Sunday and Monday. Apparently, it hit the coastal regions only. It was a rare combination of very high seas and high winds and a number of small communities suffered badly.

Our own factory in Fraserburgh just missed it - this photo is taken at the back of our site, with the public walkway along to Scotland's National Lighthouse Museum looking a bit precarious:
Our factory is built on a granite block, so hopefully it'll be OK.
