Day 314-315 Less them 3 Weeks to Go!

Last night I literally crashed into bed and went to sleep with the following thought: I should really get up, switch on my laptop and write the blog. Well, of course it never happened, the next minute I was fast asleep. I had other ‘rush-rush’ day yesterday: work from 8.30-5.30, doing my cleaning rota in the flat share, packing a box of stuff to send home and finally preparing all the kids craft for Sunday School. I should have felt pure satisfaction by midnight, once it was all over, but all I could think of was exhaustion. Izzy got up early to go to Jude’s ordination, so I started to carry on with packing. From tonight, I am officially sleeping in a ‘Mediterranean-sleeping-bag’. It is literally see-through, but I hope there won’t be any major temperature drop until I leave. We are supposed to have a ‘summery’ English Summer on the hotter end at the end of the day. The trek towel got out of its fancy holder as well and the thick one is waiting to be washed, dried and packed. 70% of my clothes are packed in one of the ‘ever-fragile’ Iceland boxes. I hope they last until they get home. I was thinking of borrowing Steve’s wheelchair to take them down to the street when the delivery guy comes. There is no parking on the market, in front of our flat, but a few hundred meters away. Huh, that is going to be one big nightmare to get all of it out of the flat. Or I might ask at church if they have anything to move stuff with. Anyway, that is really not important until I pack everything. I run out of packing tape last night. First of all, I must run over to the Indian hardware shop and get some more, before I see Ann to buy the fabrics for her evening gown. I need to pack one more box tonight and sort out my toiletries. Some of them been travelling back and forwards to Hungary so many times by now without decreasing in content, which raises the question if they are really, truly needed or not. Thank you so much for All of your amazing messages and encouragement in the last few weeks. I greatly appreciate them.
