one day to go

[elegentry]

I just finally go around to checking the actual street map locations of the places I am staying. Well, Glasgow I couldn't check until this morning as I did not have the address. so:
Glasgow- hotel pretty close to the city centre. Is well on the Lonely Planet city map. A long walk (with suitcase) or short taxi trip? north of Central station.
Edinburgh- House of Bro. Not far from the city centre, Bro says it is a 20min walk to the Old Town. Great! Or a bus ride.
London-Friend H's little flat is not as close in as I hoped but it is still shown on one of the LP maps. South East of the centre. Does not seem to be on the underground system :-(   Well I said I wanted to do things in London that I had not done before. Apparently one of them is learning to get around outside the tube network.

Does anyone else find packing takes way longer than you think? All sorts of tasks emerge that were not on the original list. Having decided last night to pack my hiking boots to help fill my half empty case, I had a look at them. Well I have just washed the dust off and washed the laces. They are drying in the useful breeze before I put some polish on them. Must say, polishing shoes is not my favourite job.

So, the To Do list for today
-polish hiking boots
-finish packing case
-pack carry on
-launder towels
-add pockets to my brown cardigan.
-water garden as the sky does not seem to want to. Have bath water saved for this purpose
-put dolomite lime under the passion fruit vine
-inspect water heater so I can manage to turn it off in the dark tomorrow morning
-have lunch with Erudito and possibly a few others. talk keys
-see the neighbours about their house extension plans
-tidy house so it is fit to leave. More to the point, fit to come back to. Not spring cleaning, just putting stuff away.
-clean budgie cage
-take budgie to his holiday home (and get fed dinner while I am there, lovely)
