One Month till Departure!

In only FOUR WEEKS time we will be hitting the road!!!

Excited Much is an understatement!  We are READY to be sitting back on the beach, thinking only of how we are going to catch the next fish, or capture that best sunset photo!

Yesterday was a full on day.  Gardens were weeded, lawn mowed, pool cleaned, more packing.  

Charlie saying goodbye to Windmill in garden, one of the last things to go.

Then the decision was made: Little Thing (our tinny) goes into storage :(  After a bit of back and forth debating we both agreed that it was going to be easier without taking the tinny.  I'm sure there will be times when we sit back and say 'it would be great to have Little Thing here', but in the bigger picture we don't really have the room for it!!  Two big dogs take up half our car space.  Leaving the tinny means we also get to leave the anchor, ropes, life jackets, saftey equipment, fuel tank and motor!  That's a lot of extra space!  But of course once we decided that we had the fun (heavy) job of getting tinny and trailer squeezed into storage next to Black Thing! Earned my beer yesterday!!

Wet season moment, enjoyed in clean pool, after HOT day of packing and gardening!

Great thing about Derby life = after a hard working morning, being able to sit back in our pool and watch an amazing storm roll in with a nice cold beer in hand.  Bliss! ...making the most of that, not taking much beer on holiday with us ;) 

I'm feeling a lot more organised today. Looking at the tidy garden has eased my mind a bit, not so much work left to do in the last few weeks.  So with only a month left till we leave I can relax a bit, and that's just what i'm doing!!  A slow start to this wonderful Sunday, with plans of doing very little with the rest of the day!!  Maybe some window cleaning, and some packing, we still have WAY TOO MUCH stuff to fit in our car and trailer, so some more sorting.  On that note:  How do you know when you have too many clothes??
Answer: when you wear a different workout shirt everyday (sometimes two different shirts per day), for  four weeks, and still haven't got to the bottom of the pile!!!!  And that's just my Workout Shirts!!

My workout shirts!!  Trying to wear them all once more before I finish Boot Camp!
