Thoughts And Recollections Of A Tree Spirit

Ready And Waiting To Start My Longhaul Flight To Oz Land

Saturday, November 10th, 2007

Wow, what a stressful and hectic day it has been.

I am finally packed and ready to go, virtually. Am having a last ditch attempt at ripping as many CDs to my porrtable hard drive as possible so I have some music to take with me. I have left everything till the last minute as usual but there really isn’t any surprises there!

I spent all day packing up my stuff to store in my aunty and uncle’s loft and trying to decide which books and DVDs to take with me. Afterall the effort I weighted my luggage and found myself to be 5kgs over the limit so had to ditch the DVDs and some of my books. I found this very hard and am going to miss my books like crazy. I am thinking that maybe once I start earning in Australia I can treat myself to a little parcel once a month if I ask my aunty to kindly pack up a few books and send them out to me.

As for my cats, well, neither of them are to be seen at the moment so I hope they emerge for a farewell cuddle before I go. At least they are able to stay where they are at my aunty’s and hopefully not get too stressed at my departure. Now I know how Mat must have felt when he had to leave his Jack Russell, Eddie, behind at his brother’s. (more…)
