In some respects, this process is carthartic in that you really look at the stuff you have collected and have to decide which is really essential to keep and which is not......a lot of "stuff" went on its way...including at least 25 Kodak Carousel slide trays.....I kept the contents...We found items that we had given up for lost and some that were not supposed to be stored and clothes that reminded us of flower power and madras....(remember that).
So here we are about 10 days from departure and we are down to cancelling power and telephone. Gathering information about storing the car and scooter for two years. Introducing our renter to their new home for 24 months, reinuslating the attic and generally trying to remember all the things we need to do....which is where Murphy comes in.....we both know that sitting in row 25 seats d and e on BA flight to Heathrow a week from sunday, we are going to remember the one thing that we did not do.....such is life...and who knows what that will be right now...the other part of Murphy is all the things that are happening right now...other opportunities that we have wanted to accept and now find that we cannot.....its disapointing and really bad timing...but once again.....such is life and we have to look at the big picture and think on the fact that our next two years will be a gigantic life experience and who knows what knowledge we will come back with that we can share here...
So thanks for dropping in on the blog....I promise it will start to get more interesting in a couple of weeks time as we sit in hotels in London and Dar Es Salaam and with the addition of some pix...it might be worth reading....cheers for now and tune in next week
derrick and lois
the two who we will miss the most, but in two years...Disneyland yeah!!!!!!!!!!!
