that suitcase she is heavy and verrah full. 26kg. I'm almost suprised that I got that much in there. Decided this morning to leave the carpet behind. The plan is that it might come home with Bro and J when they return to Oz in maybe a year?to which project I would provide sheckels if needed. In current form it is more than 4m square. I thought about bringing a little bit home but have concluded that is not worth it. A big bit would be much more worth having. To bring another suitcase equivalent home would cost 75squids.
So having made that decision I went into town this morning and bought more stuff, which I have squeezed into the suitcase but only just. There is a specialist folk music shop just off the Royal mile. Fabulous place, did not seem to be able to leave the place without a dozen or so CDs, eep. Would have been more if I hadn't exercised some restraint. All stuff I would buy anyway, it just happened all at once and without having to do special import orders. I have stripped off the crystal cases so they take up less space. There will be a listening frenzy this weekend I'm sure.
The trip into town was interesting. The weather has gone strange. The Ha has made an appearance. Yesterday was warm, sunny and pleasant (pretty rare here). Apparently it is reasonably common for a warm day to be followed by the Ha- a heavy misty fog thing. Visibility drops right away and the air is really wet, so wet that the fog is sort of falling out of the air on you. It is not really raining, more like walking through a cloud. I came home rather damp.
Now I wait for Bro to come back from his appointment, then to the airport. If the flights run to plan I'll be back Thurs morning to battle the jet lag and reassure myself that the house is ok and the garden not dead, fingers crossed.
We have spent the last few days walking through beautiful woodlands, climbing over crumbling castles, driving around terribly scenic, heather covered hills, buying odd things in secondhand shops, eating pork pies and drinking fine ales. All very lovely but I am now keen to get home. The thought of my own bed in my space is almost too good to contemplate. I have two 1.5hr flights and a 23hr one to survive before I get there.
