Enthusiasm mounting

As the day of departure to South Africa approacheth, I am becoming ever more excited. I just hope that my passport comes in time! Perhaps my head was not between 29 and 34mm high in the photo, perhaps I have become unrecognisable since 21 and I need a countersignature. So much silliness, but at least by renewing the passport now I should be able to avoid any biometricity for a good 10 years.

It will be a wholly new experience to cross the equator: to see new stars and walk on my head.
What's more, I shall make sure that the water flows down plugholes in BOTH directions as it does in the northern hemisphere. It will be novel to watch the world cup from outside Britain. Apparently, SA is extremely keen on football, even though their team is rubbish (cf Scotland!), so there should be a good atmosphere, especially as they are hosting the next world cup. My favoured team for the cup this year: Portugal, although I hope that Brazil entertain as usual.
