4 Days and Counting


Things I am sure of - I have more music on my iPod than I'll ever listen to (nearly 8GB now!); the cats will learn to love their new meal provider; I won't run out of lip balm; I have some amazing friends who've been lovely beyond words; the windows in my flat need a good clean; I won't have time to clean the windows in my flat before I go; I can't live off wholemeal pitta bread, Philadephia and aduki beans for a week; that I'll miss my family hugely, notwithstanding the rogues gallery photo album I'm taking with me; I will remember to take my vitamin pills every day, as its one tiny thing less to carry; I've no regrets.

Things I'm not sure of - whether the pile of stuff on the floor will really fit into my bag; whether buying compilation and "best of" albums is a valid way of listening to great music; what the buttons on top of my camera do; at what age the lion cubs start looking at you as if you are dinner; should I have walked my boots in more; whether I really need my book of poetry (but it came with me all the way round Asia, I can't leave it now); whether I should have read the lonely planet travel health book about African diseases, especially the bit about the creatures that burrow into your feet and come out your nose or somewhere equally distressing; where I'll be this time next year.
