I...Hi Jane - The zebras are great, aren't they? I'm glad there hasn't been TOO much vandalism with them. <br /><br />Terrorism in 'little' London! Scary, but glad the RCMP were on it so quickly. That could've been nasty if he'd managed to pull it off.<br /><br />I've tucked my pants away so Olly can't get to them. I'll be sorting my suitcase out next weekend to make sure I have everything. I've got 5 (!) new shirts, but am now thinking I'll need only about three or so, plus one for non-hike days. I'm off to Portsmouth next weekend and there's an outdoor shop at a factory outlet mall where I might be able to get a long-sleeved shirt. Then I think I'm all set. I'll need to make up my trail mix, pack it all and if I've forgotten anything, pick it up in Dublin before we set off in earnest.<br /><br />I picked up a Lonely Planet Ireland book at a thrift store yesterday for £2.50! Will bring it along and we may be able to use it post-hike. Yay! See you in two weeks :DNorthern Living Allowancehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06663851212929175711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6698917025069184978.post-35580675473039037182016-08-13T17:40:01.042+01:002016-08-13T17:40:01.042+01:00A corner desk - I love it!

Though we can now lay claim to having our own terrorist! Thankfully the RCMP "got their man" before any real damage was done! <br />Had to laugh at Olly on your pants - I had a heck of a time getting Lily to stay out of my suitcase this morning! Rolling and rubbing herself on all of my clothes. Not the first time so I guess it's my own fault for not closing it up! But I'm still arranging and rearranging. <br />Like you green notebook - how appropriate :) I've been on Wikipedia a lot lately looking up the various places we'll go to on our walk. Just fantastic! Not long now!Janehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02803104035204416080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6698917025069184978.post-84250138517389725122016-08-11T12:11:55.765+01:002016-08-11T12:11:55.765+01:00Hi T'Pol: me too!

Cows would've been great!<br /><br />Yes, well pleased with my library books. I've already read two, and started two more although I'm not sure how much I like one of them. xxNorthern Living Allowancehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06663851212929175711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6698917025069184978.post-44762843740178330062016-08-08T10:59:45.985+01:002016-08-08T10:59:45.985+01:00I like your Zebras.
