Bargains and Bartering

Cold dull days, long nights,
The foment of ideas
that spring will see bloom.


We are up to plan D.

The fourth major structural change to our upcoming journey. The umpteenth minor change.

Long dark nights revising plans, researching, refining and adjusting. It doesn't matter what form our journey takes - as long as it takes place. Notice given at work, minds constantly ticking over. What to take, what to send, what to sell, catching up with everyone before we leave.

Priorities have changed. Snowboard and skis became a new soft shell jacket for Neil. Mandolin and guitar transmogrified into our new tent (a Vango Spirit 200+ which is a couple of kilo lighter than our old faithful Mountain Hardware Trango 2 that we are sending back to Australia). Pot plants and picture frames swapped for an Ipod (thanks Vicki).


So much stuff - and it's only just the beginning...

All we need now is for someone to give us a new netbook and a wide angle lens in exchange for the car...
