Today was my last day at work - and I left there feeling that I hadn't quite done what I wanted to but that it was all in good hands. I farewelled Pugsy as she headed off with one of my work colleagues for her holiday. She will love having a few weeks in a home with a fire on all the time and a doggy door that leads out to a backyard from which to sniff the kangaroos. It's empty at home without her but now the floor is filling with piles of gear so its probably good she's not here.
On my 'to do list' are the following:
- buy a pair of Goretex overgloves
- check the tent - repair a couple of rips
- check the repair kit - are there enough needles? How much thread is there?
- oad the software onto the PDA and check that the system works
- check with the electronics shop whether there is a way of linking my video camera to the battery pack for recharging
- make sure I've got all the contact numbers in my little travel contacts book
- heck the luggage allowance on the airline website
- pack and weigh my luggage
- make sure the mascot gets into the gear pile. The mascot was given to us by Strathfieldsaye PS students. It doesn't have a name yet - I think finding a South American name when we get over there will be appropriate.
There is a lot more - and I do want to fit in another couple of exercise sessions, catching up with friends and getting the house in order to leave for a while.
It's exciting thinking about what comes next.
