My passport has arrived!

And very pretty it is too, with pictures of birds on every page, stitching that floresces and holographic wings over the photo. Pity it's now as stiff as the old blue passports, though - not so easy to fit into a security belt.

So, time to book my bus tickets, then. cutecoati, is it still okay with you if I turn up on the morning of Saturday 12th?
