Mars versus Venus is what springs to mind as I survey the "preliminary packing" which is turning the spare bedroom into a bomb site.
Venus (Georgi) - several different "hiking outfit" options are strewn across the bed. (A) the "feeling good day" option being the rather short stretchy khaki skirt last worn in outback Australia, where well tanned legs covered a multitude of sins and anything with sleeves on was considered being overdressed (b) the definitely "fat-girl day" shorts with voluminous legs, loose waist band and which hang off my backside like a wet nappy, but hey, you can't see me underneath so you can just keep guessing! and (c) the only purpose built bit of hiking gear - Peter Storm walking trousers bought so many years ago I can't remember why in an attractive goose-poo green with fetching gathered waistband, perfect for those days when you are beyond caring! Hmmmmm, it's going to be a tough call each morning just getting dressed!
Haute couture aside, I have a practical streak, and have packed a First Aid kid, consisting of various blister avoidance potions, and pain killers. Oh, and more pain killers.......
Mars (Anthony) - one bottle of gin, one bottle of whiskey, a case of small cans of tonic water, a compass, and some waterproofing for boots.
So that's it - I guess we're ready to go!
Good luck Venus & Mars, will be reading with interest. I hope Mars remembered a hand held GPS so you can give a Latitude and Longitude of where you are? :)Kingers
