i love you guys.

i've been writing this post over the past week because i just knew i was going to run out of time.
and it's nowhere near finished. and i'm in the middle of clothes mountain, trying desperately to concentrate on packing. and i just. can't.

however, i've managed to get some software, and tweak a few things, so my phone can now blog! although i can't attach photographs. but i'll try.

the bad news

is that the before and after photographs i planned for the end of the Fitness Feature. are currently a) still on the camera so b) won't upload. so i'm pretty stressed out. the odds are against me. but i promise you, as soon as i get back, i will conclude the feature properly.

more bad news

is that the internet in Cyprus is not free. i think i can work my way around this. although i can't work my way around the horrific lack of wi-fi/3G. i thought i'd finally be able to holiday with easy access to the world through the medium of an iphone. i guess i didn't account for the fact that the internet actually has to be available.

good news

i have bought tonnes of sugar for 4am tomorrow morning. it's a good thing there will be travel-sickness tablets on hand too - yummy.

really good news, maybe?

i think 'the expense of being a poor girl' (title of my previous post) would be an awesome name for my currently self-entitled blog. the only reason it became 'Sydney Swift' was because i was too lazy to think of anything. the only reason it remains 'Sydney Swift' is because it gets good google search results. can i do a quick poll here? change or not to change? maybe not to 'the expense of being a poor girl', but to something other than my name.

changing the subject completely...

i haven't finished the latest Harry Potter book yet. i'm part-way through The Deathly Hallows. i wish i could just upload a review now because i am so far behind on my list. and this book, is the only one i'm taking with me which is also on my list. although i am taking three chick-lits and one drama. if i get through them all will be a miracle. i spent £25 on itunes yesterday. i came out with one tv show, one tetris game (i am the unbeatable queen of tetris) two rented films, ten podcasts and more music than i could shake a hat at.

final notes:

• i don't speak any greek.
• i have been told i am not allowed a holiday romance.
  
• apparently there is the best water park nearby.
• and a mcdonalds. and a debenhams. (just me who finds this weird?)
• i just found this picture. and my god. i hope the villa has a balcony. i love balconies.
• i will miss you guys lots. regardless of the internet connection
