I started packing yesterday...only my shoes and underwear to start me off...
But the count down has started...
The main job yesterday was to print off my eticket.
This took longer than it should...whilst I looked for the right email from Cunard and then ran out of black ink on my printer....
In the middle of this an old friend asked me to do her mothers funeral.
Of course I said yes....but getting it sorted out before I go away was always going to be tricky.
It's sorted now. Two days before I set off....
When I was younger I dealt with every complication easily for the most part...and I will deal with this one too..
But it's all running counterpart to events in the world...
The next cruise isn't going near any of the troubled places.. but there is a feeling of needing to be aware of what's going on whilst I'm eating lotus.
I tend to cut off from world events once on the ship but I think this year I may need to try to stay in touch....watching Fox News in my cabin has always been a treat..
This morning I have to go into the village for some shopping and to go to the cash machine. When I go away I leave my gardener his money in envelopes...for each week I won't be here. As he has no bank account I need cash! I then hand over several envelopes and he tells me he only opens them on the due day whilst I'm away!
I am putting all these small jobs together in my head...this time I need to write it all down so that I can't forget something important...in theory!
So I'd better get on with it.....now!
