Here goes, a blog on the iPhone that is acting up and registering one in 3 keypresses, from the departure lounge...

I have a spare hour before.... I get on a plane for a week in Mallorca!

What? You've only just arrived back in the UK!?

Yeah I know, but it's a week and a half until I start work and my mum needs some painting doing. So why not hire the worst painter, not in town, for the job, so he can spend the rest of the time lounging by the pool?

I got lucky I know, I am not a good painter and the only reason I got the job was... it's not what you know it's who you know. Cheers Mum!

The apartment in Spain needs a coat of paint to protect it from the 'harsh' winters. Does anyone actually believe me when I say it is cold and damp in the winter? The mould attacks the inside of the walls facing Europe and the hope is that a clean, a bleach, another clean, and a special paint will help.

It'll probably also help that I won't be there this winter, breathing out CO2 and generally bringing dampness (?) to the room. And honestly, I won't miss the place come November - much better to be aware that it's going to be shit weather in the UK and dress up for the worst.

So yeah, a little painting, and hopefully a fair amount of sun before work begins next month. I have the laptop and so the scheduled posts for the EL, Actifit contest, and Acidyo's #sfpl will still happen.

Disappointingly, I couldn't find my Fit-bit before I left today and so you won't get any Actifit posts this week. I'll have to replace those with an Appics 'beer by the pool' post instead.

Or, I could get paid to Resteem - see my latest Resteem for details. It's an interesting one, follower count / follower SP total / follower relevant tribe stake total / Steem UA ranking - just some of the many options.

I changed my vote timings the other day and have since learned that this was not the time to do so - do not copy me and wait until fork day.

In advance of this trip, I wrote down some instructions regarding my Steem accounts for my brother in case something happens to me at any point. The person I gave the USB stick to said 'why now, you'll jinx your flight'. I say BS, prepare for the worst and hope for the best.

Alright, time to finish my drink and get on the plane (that will land safely later today).

Cheers
