Packing.


I mentioned recently that I'm off to Australia, quite soon, for about 6 weeks. It'll be Autumn when I arrive in Queensland, so choosing, and packing, clothes is a nightmare.

En route I shall be visiting London, Bangkok, and Dubai, giving me just about every weather combination imaginable. So do I take a raincoat, a heavy sweater, and thermal undies? Or do I just make do with T shirts and swim-wear? An umbrella might be handy, as well as gumboots!

I shall also be taking a few gifts for my daughter and the boys. Paté, toys, books; all have to go in as well.

With an allowance of just 20 kgs (because I'm using various different airlines) my packing needs to be very well honed.

As Cro keeps reminding me.... 'When travelling, take half the amount of clothes you think you'll need, and twice the amount of money!' I think I may have to heed his advice this time.

  3. Don't know what it is like where T. is but here in N.Z. we have had no summer and now autumn has come on very suddenly. I even have the pot-belly stove lit today.

    Presume you are not visiting N.Z. this time.

  4. Thanks but I think the Wellies won't fit! I'm not too bothered with the weather
    As the main reason is to see the grandchildren. Can't wait but not looking forward to the journey. Wish the dirty stop in would come with me.

  7. How lovely to find the other half of Lord Magnon. I will worry now for the safety of all at Magnon Towers until you return to restore order! Hopefully Cro's blog will alert you to the worst crimes. Have a good holiday, Jan.

  8. We used to rent a flat in Verteillac, near Riberac until ill health clipped my husband's wings. Love the area. Still visit though and husband is playing his hurdy gurdy there this summer at their festival. Jan.

  9. I was searching for a loan to sort out my bills & debts, then I saw comments about Blank ATM Credit Cards that can be hacked to withdraw money from any ATM machines around you . I doubted this but decided to give it a try by contacting { officialblankatmservice@gmail.com} they responded with their guidelines on how the card works. I was assured that the card can withdraw $5,000 instant per day & was credited with $50,000,000.00 so i requested for one & paid the delivery fee to obtain the card, after 24 hours later, i was shock to see the UPS agent in my resident with a parcel {card} i signed and went back inside to pick up my car key and drove to a nearest ATM machine to confirmed if the card really work to my greatest surprise it did.. This is no doubt because I have the card & have made use of the card. These hackers are UK based hackers set out to help people with financial freedom!! Contact them via email: officialblankatmservice@gmail.com or WhatsApp +447937001817 if you want to get rich.
