Okay, I may have been a bit too hasty with the first post. Yes, Zo and I will be going to Europe, but probably not this winter, which kind of makes the whole theme and title of this blog redundant, but I like it so I'm going to keep going anyway.

The money we have for the trip is safe and sound, so there's no rush to spend it. Instead we're going to focus on other stuff, like maybe buying a house or unit or something, and leave the overseas trip as a nice little reward in a year or more.

Regardless, this blog will be about the road to getting there, along with all the little upsets and detours that life throws in your way. I've never been the sort of person who puts much stock in roadmaps, and destinations or ambitions anyway...I'm more the sort to float along, a passenger on the backseat of the greyhound bus of life (but not the one right near the toilet).

Expect to hear about money woes, housing woes (hopefully few of these, I don't want this becoming winge-blog) ideas for songs, ideas for DIY projects which will never get off the ground, and the usual stupid observations that most bloggers write about. I will include the odd photo of my cat, but only because it is in the Blogger terms of service that everyone has to include one arbitrary photo of a household pet per month.
