I know I'm late to the party, but..
...here's that meme everyone else was doing a week ago about how many places they'd slept in in 2009. Gavin and I had a rather dull NYE, spent in a hotel room in a town that sold no alcohol and wasn't celebrating the new year because it thought it was 1431. Anyway. Instead, we wrote this list; (* means I stayed there and Gavin didn't, ** that Gavin did and I didn't.) (And in no particular order, coz that's too much like effort.)
- home
- my parents' house in Edinburgh
- a guest house just outside of Alicante
- a cabin near Grenada
- a cabin near Cadiz
- a nice big house in Gloustershire
- Corrour B&B in the Highlands
- **Birmingham
- **a hotel in Paris
- *a hostel in Istanbul
- *an apartment in Budapest
- a hotel in Gibraltar
- a riad in Tangier (this and the following all in Morocco)
- a riad in Chef Chouen
- a hotel in Fez
- a hotel in Meknes
- a hotel in Rabat
- a hotel in Marrakech
- *with the_elyan in Ely
- *with my sister in Bonnybridge, nr Falkirk
- with bobrayner in Dalkeith, nr Edinburgh
- with Tana and Iain in Edinburgh
- with pipsytip and phil99 in Chester
- in a tent on a campsite near East Grinstead
- in a tent on a farm near East Grinstead
- in a tent on the slopes of Ben na Lapp in the Highlands
- in a tent at the Merrier Harriers, nr Witley
- in a tent at Cropredy folk music festival
- in a tent at Latitude festival
- in a tent nr Ronda, Spain
- in a tent on a lovely campsite nr Cordoba
- in a tent nr Almeria
- *in a tent on the Danish island of Fano
- on a boat on the Norfolk Broads (actually in three different locations)
- on a sleeper train between London and Corrour
- *on a north sea ferry between Harwich and Esbjerg
So the total number of locations for me (counting the Norfolk Broads as three) is 36, and for Gavin it is 32. A rough totting up of the total number of nights shows that I spent about one night in eight somewhere that wasn't at home.
Since the 2010 began I have yet to spend two nights in the same place (a hotel in M'hamid, a Berber tent on the edge of the Sahara, a hotel in Telouen, and my own bed), and in the last sixteen nights I've slept in twelve different places. However I'm now looking forward to spending the next few weeks in my own bed :-)
