This is what has worked for me but only really applies if you’re a certain kind of couple. Also kinda depends on how long you’re going for and which country/countries you’re visiting… Personally I think it’s easy to over plan and we both hate working to strict itineraries. Strip you plan back to bare bones, book any internal travel and a few hotels along the way but don’t book all your accommodation, so you can be flexible. Talk to locals and other travellers to get tips on what’s on and general local knowledge. Do your research so you have a priority list of things you’d like to do/see. Pin all this on Google maps. Make it an adventure rather than a sanitised trawl through tourist spots.

I think they’re amazing. The chemistry of colored flame has fascinated me since I was young, and there’s nothing quite like being close to explosions. If I had more time and lived in the US I’d be a hobby pyrotechnician.

I love my inkjet. It’s so nice to be able to do my own high quality prints for the wall and for friends.

Some experience of the UK system, I’ve called for an ambulance twice in the UK recently for what I consider (and any reasonable person would) to be an emergency. Both times I was told it would be about 4 hours wait and could I get someone to drive me to the hospital. My partner has been phoning her GP to try and get an appointment for over two weeks and keeps getting told to phone back ‘in a few days’ because they have nothing available for over a month, including phone consultation. I’ve experienced dangerous ineptitude from multiple NHS doctors. I’ve also seen corruption in that if you know someone who works in the right department you can jump queues. So I’ve learned from experience to go private if I actually need medical aid.

Evidence existing is a very low bar, It’s when it’s proved beyond reasonable doubt that it stops being a theory.

Used to be in charge of wet proofing and colour management for a design studio. Accurate meme.
