7 working days to go - I fly to Singapore 3 weeks today!!! I am now at the start of the 'last time for a while', and saying 'bye for now' to people. How lucky I am to have so many lovely friends - how I shall miss you all…
But I am really excited too, and can't wait to set off into the unknown with my pack on my back. Thinking of what to take (and the much longer list of what NOT to take) does focus the mind on what's important. It's a bit like 'what would you save in a fire?'. We seem to spend our lives working excessive hours to earn the money to buy things we need to make life easier because we're working excessive hours… (draw breath now).
At home I have a wardrobe full of clothes but don't seem to have the right thing when an occasion comes up... It will be interesting to see how I cope with only 2 of each item of clothing, if that! I hope I shall be judged for who I am, rather than what I wear!
Sorry, hope you don't get too fed up with my ramblings, they should get more interesting when I'm on my way, so hang in there, dear reader!
