Hooray, wife and I have finally booked our holiday this year - a week split between Budapest and Vienna, leaving next week. Not my favourite time of year to travel but we didn't have much choice, having discovered that once you are financially stable and can afford to travel without having to stay in the dirtiest dodgiest backpacker hostels you can find, you just can't get the time off work. Anyone who knows of things to do in either of those places, please advise me for I have no clue. I just picked Budapest after googling Hungarian food and getting peckish.

But yes, holiday! I AM GOING TO GO HAVE FUN AND NOT THINK ABOUT HOW SHITTY MY MASTERS IS TURNING OUT.

However, I need to rewatch this to calm myself down after the horror of all the extra charges Jet2 springs on you. £33 for one item of checked baggage and then another £30 to check it in! EACH WAY. Thieving fucktards, you're not getting that from me. I will only take carry-on and will wash my knickers in my hotel sink just to spite you.



And, and, and, the weekend after we get back from that I am going down to Oxford to meet up with [livejournal.com profile] ainsoph15 for Old Roman Shit and Boozing, then two weeks after that it's up to Scotland to be fed Nutella crepes by [livejournal.com profile] goblin_dae and gush over her new little terror kitten!

My, it's almost like I have a social life.

It is also where Centurion Lucius Vorenus comes from! I think his parents still live there - one day I will track them down and hold them hostage until he sends me photos of himself wearing nothing but the helmet and greaves.

DO TELL ME MORE ABOUT THESE SHORT SHORTS. AND ILLUSTRATE THE STORY WITH MANY HIGH-RESOLUTION PHOTOGRAPHS.

UM, I WAS WAITING FOR THE 102 BUS TO GO TO WORK. I CAN ONLY ASSUME HE WAS GOING FOR A JOG IN HIGHGATE WOOD, BUT LET ME TELL YOU, IT WAS A VERY PLEASINGLY LONG STRETCH OF PAVEMENT HE HAD TO GO ALONG BEFORE HE WENT PAST ME.

Sadly, that is the ONLY time I saw him in the short shorts :( AND HE WAS MOVING TOO FAST TO GET A PHOTO. LIKE A SEXY, EARLY-MORNING BLUR.
