Gooning for Glory

Goonjimbo's life.

Update #1 transmitting...


So, fellow SeekoNeers, I have reason to celebrate. Definitely not a common occurence for myself as I usually spend the majority of my weeks wallowing in misery and self-pity so I keep reminding myself to be very grateful for such rare luxuries.

My monotonous, stress-inducing, nine-to-five job at the Ministry of Defence shall be cast to the back of my mind for 2 weeks as I take a fortnight off work, and in the midst of this, I shall jet off to Cyprus.

My oldest friend (technically not my best, especially since he's been annoying the bajeesus out of me lately) has landed a free apartment in Paphos, opposite his grandparents house. Combine that with cheap flights, and this trip will cost me 225 pound for the flight (first class on the way) and whatever spending money I take.
