So it is time for the first pack of the season. A double header of Australia and Malaysia –
only 2 weeks away but 8 TV programmes, other filming, sweltering heat and
tropical rain makes it a tricky one when it comes to being sparing with the
suitcase weight!
As Britain focuses on snow and returns to winter, I am
wondering how I will cope with the 30c temperatures that have sizzled Melbourne
for most of the summer. The past few
years I have visited, it has been chilly and changeable. The famous “4 seasons in one day”.
Malaysia is always humid, no matter what time of the year I
have been there. The one thing I need
more than anything – frizz ease! An Afro
on me is not a great look but it is the same for every girl in the F1 paddock
so at least I am not alone. Big
thunderstorms and tropical downpours are the norm every afternoon at this time
of year but knowing it doesn’t make it any easier working in it!
I leave Sunday morning, dropping my Mum at the airport on
the way. She has been here a few days so I do get to see her on Mother’s Day,
albeit briefly. Then it is Melbourne via
Hong Kong eventually getting there late Monday night. I have films to watch, books to read and time
to think which is quite unusual. There is something very therapeutic about
switching your phone off for that length of time.
I am really looking forward to getting there and having a
day or two to catch up with friends, drink some great coffee, wine and get back
in touch with the city.
