I had a fabulous catch up and lunch with my best friend where I was regaled with stories of dodgy food and 13 hour flights. This was followed by having a mini row with a PC world person who promised the laptop cover wasn't scratched - it was.
Next I got home to find this perfect and hand made sketch/note book from my brilliant artist friend Linzi, all hand felted. Beautiful
Decided to try the case again - took out one pair of shoes, baby wipes (always need those), waterproofing spray..., rucksack, books, pants, jeans, sweatshirts, hairspray(?), red electric tape(?), glue sticks x 4 and other bits of 'essential' stuff. Got it down to 25kg which is still over, but at least I can actually lift it.(The walking pole was removed, but it's trying to get back in...)
I then got on with the really important job of checking and rechecking hard drives, memory cards, sticks, readers and connectors. I put them all safely on my desk, all 25 of them and then spilled a whole cup of tea all over them.
Here they are. In a bag with silica gel sachets and rice. They are wet. And sticky. I cried. Now is the waiting game......
In the meantime, some of the sad items which didn't make the final 'suitcase' cut: (except Linzi's book which is coming with me - oh and my camera. Better get my act together.
Only 3 more sleeps
I also realised I was 9 kilos overweight so while Aly is living in Fortitude I'm going to lose that. Easy no distractions from that wife and her drinking! I will miss her...xxxx
