Well this time next week I shall be no doubt be checking my suitcase for the 49th time to ensure that I haven't forgotten anything. I would like to say that I'm organised however I fear that would be a lie.
I have a list - which always makes me feel better. Thanks to Lorraine I've been able to cross "get travel adaptor" off of it but other than that the only think I've been able to cross off is "make video" and "buy socks" my backside will have to get into action rather quickly I think.
My local Rotary invited me to lunch last week to speak to them about the trip and have also provided me with banners and postcards to present whilst we are there and it was at that point that how quickly everything has came around hit me. The Rotary also invited the local newspaper The Greenock Telegraph to come and interview me about the trip. When I was stocking up on my socks today the last that served me said " your going to Australia aren't you?" I was suprised that she could tell this from footwear but she pointed out that she had read about it in the paper. She hasn't been the only person to mention it and it's been really nice when people have stopped me to say that they read the story and wanted to wish me well. The only downside is that all the young peope of Inverclyde now know my true age and no amount of me insisiting it was a misprint will distract them from this fact.
We are doing a dry run of our presentation to the District Rotary meeting on Wednesday in Erskine and then on Firday at 7.30am the adventure begins ...
