Well, this is going to be my last HAED update for the month, I'll be on the way to the airport in about 4 hours, off to Melbourne for Eel's wedding. Then in a few days time, to New Zealand for a week's holiday, then back to Melbourne again. I'm definitely not bringing my HAED with me, I can't imagine ever bringing it on holiday, it's so bulky!

I've been trying to do one day's extra work each week so that I wouldn't fall behind my schedule when I left for my holiday. I'm not sure whether I've covered enough days or not, but at this point in time, I don't really care! I'm coming to the main part of the picture, which means less background, and less blocky areas for me to stitch. It's really obvious in my picture below, just how non-blocky it is!



I've been kind of freaking out about the New Zealand trip. Eel HAD to pick this time of year to get married, which happens to be winter in New Zealand. Apparently, the road to one of the places I was planning to visit has been closed for 12 days due to avalanches! Plus driving during winter is going to be scary, we have to rent snow chains, and I have no idea how to even use snow chains. I hardly drive much in Malaysia, so it'll be interesting to see how it goes in New Zealand. Thankfully, we drive on the same side of the road, so it shouldn't be too much of a change. I suppose I'll be delegating most of the driving to the other half, and I'll be navigating for the most part. :D

Only 1 1/2 more hours till I get to go home, and finish my packing! See you all in about a month. Bye!
