9 Weeks to go!

I had quite a positive weekend and have bought almost everything I need for my trip now. Ordered iodine tabs, mosi spray etc via Nomad on line. I couldn't face the shops so thought it would be better this way - and it gave me the chance to use the discount too. I think the only thing left to do now is sort out my first aid kit, but only need to get things like imodium etc as I'm hoping to get lots of plasters, bandages etc from my sister's St John's kit.

Saturday was a complete wash out, but I did pop out and do a food shop and also went to the DIY shop next door to get myself some work gloves for the trip. I've got a lightweight pair for painting (only £1.99!) and and more robust pair for heavier work.

On Sunday we went out on the mountain bikes for a couple of hours. Approx half of the distance was off road which was quite hard going - but better than being harrassed by cars on the country lanes. I took the opportunity to wear one of my new longsleeve tops. At least it now won't look shiney and new when I get out to Namibia! Need to do more work on fundraising too. I've got some ideas! I think a cake sale may be on the cards! Need to find some people who can bake now!
