...it's late at night, gotta get up early, have sent out 3 quotes, sent out the latest article to my Editor, burnt the pix on a CD, burnt some artwork files on CD for another client, went for an audition (got the part) - and had time to do the evening tai chi class too. That leaves a class to teach in the morning, water the dog and walk the plants, drop the dog off at pet nursery. Ain't packed yet, but I decide to treat myself to a few hours shut-eye, so I volunteer to panic pack tomorrow. That kinda gives me 60minutes packing time and another 60minutes packing my pants to get my ass seated on plane. Seems like I'll be in Hong Kong this weekend (coincidentally) during the 10th year anniversary of Hong Kong's return to China. It's one of those events where you remember where you were at the moment. I wanted to be there to witness history happening, but as a lowly paid actor in London back then, I was skint - and engaged in a performance with Yellow Earth Theatre, at London Arena that very weekend. David, Tom and myself cleared the stage to join the crowds watching the Handover live on the big screen.
As I recall exactly where I was on the day back in 1997 - where will I be 10 years from now?
