There is a strange feeling in my world this morning.
I had supper with one of my oldest friends last night and tomorrow will greet two more old friends as we meet on board the big ship.
Today is the day when I pull all my arrangements together....the packing has been done over a week..but I have yet to actually organise it all, get my documents together, put the labels on the cases, try not to take more than I need whilst being sure that I can cope with what ever fate throws at me.
I have done it all before...I know I can do it but it still daunts me at this stage.
I am hearing the weather forecast about all the hurricanes wreaking havoc over the world and praying that they don't come in my direction.
I listened to John Lecarre on the radio a few moments ago and realised it had a valedictory feel as he has resurrected old much loved characters for his new book.
I ordered this yesterday. It should arrive on my kindle today sometime and will be read over the next two weeks.
There is a valedictory feeling in my air this morning..I hope it's not mine!
After today blogging will be as and when it is possible...you all know how this works...some days may be missing...
Onwards and upwards..into the shower..
This is a day for organising...but also for remembering those I have lost along the way, looking forward to meeting new ones whilst renewing friendship with old friends so I'd better get on with it!

I hope it is a happy cruise for you Jean, and if it is not quite up to your expectations at least you will have the wonderful John Le Carre to fall back on (as it were).
Blessings.
Thank you Ray....taking a much needed rest after filling up one bag...another yet to go!
BY the time you read this, I presume you will be on your way or even aboard.
Have a safe and restful cruise among friends and sweep any memory of Fred Olsen out of your mind :)
