WHEN I'M 64 ... PLUS ANOTHER 8TH.

 It's my birthday today but it's grey and raining. I hope this isn't a portent.

Never mind. After my epic walk yesterday I had no plans to go rambling today. I'll potter about inside and pack my bag for our trip to Dunedin this evening.

Packing my bag will involve stuffing a few items into a backpack for carry-on luggage.


The Old Girl's taking a small suitcase for carry-on and no doubt it'll be better packed than mine.


I'll try to sneak a couple of my items into her bag.

The cooler weather today and likely cooler temperatures in Dunedin means that I can wear my merino wool clothing that is too warm to wear up north. I like these items, designed for layering with the lightest first, followed by a zip up kind of over-shirt and then a jacket or vest. Toasty. I tried wearing this on the walk into town on Tuesday but got so hot I had to take the top two layers off.

Thanks for all the birhday wishes. It's just as well that you didn't send presents as I won't be home to receive them.

Slàn leat.

Day 1 of the Dunedin trip and boy was that a doozy of a start!
More to be unveiled when I return on Sunday to write a blog post or two. Just kidding. This’ll be worth dozens of posts.

Do you?
I haven’t seen it yet. It’ll be finished by the time I get back home.
