Countdown number one

I’m feeling a bit spaced out now that the deed is done, I think I had got very used to being stuck in limbo.

As I look around at the amount of stuff we have accumulated over the years I am wondering how much of it was absolutely necessary. I have become quite ruthless in my disposal of things that I thought I liked, at the same time I’ve been buying junk that perhaps may not be essential, for example I have a fabulous full face mask for snorkeling and some special shoes for walking on rocks in the sea. All this has to be packed in special boxes for the ‘adventure’.  I have to call it that to ensure that I don’t descend into panic when remembering that we have almost sold everything, not sure whether we are approaching the start or finish line.

Tomorrow I will begin making lists.
