Which, apparently means “arriving in Japan”. And that is what we shall be doing. Sometime.

Working for a travel agents, Jo found out about an industry competition she could enter to win two tickets to one of many global destinations. The competition involved getting in the top eight high-scores of a tetris-style game involving aeroplane seats.

Well, in a drunken stupor, I managed to rank joint seventh.

Whilst a certain amount of skill and persistence helped, because the awarded score was time-based over four levels, the wine I’d consumed decreased my levels of stress, and I obviously entered some kind of Zen zone.

So today Jo got notification that we had won, and Japan is the destination that both of us have wanted to go to since we moved away from France.
