A week later and a year older...

Yes, its been quite a week!

My 38th birthday came and went, thank you to everyone who kindly donated what they would have spent on a birthday card etc, and loaded the pennies on my Just Giving site - it means the world and I am truly greatful.

My current total as of this morning (Aug 24) is £11,810.84 !!

On Saturday I enjoyed my walk in Lee-on-Solent, the walk wasn't as long as usual but just as enjoyable if not more, as I was by one of my most favourite things....the sea!
Yes - with my friend and colleague Kerrie we walked along the coastal path, the sun was shining and there wasn't a cloud in the sky, it was bliss.

My plans for this week:

• to make my final list of stuff still to buy
• change guest room at home from beautiful boudoir to departure lounge
• wash wash wash - kit and clothes
• read through all pack information sent from the BHF
• walk (location not yet decided)
• collapse in a heap! :0)

My plans for tonight:

• counting down from 10 days its all down hill from here. Well until the big uphill bit in Africa!
• coat soles of my feet in surgical spirit every night until departure to harden skin and prevent blisters (nice!)

Well folks that's all for now, I'll be waffling more tomorrow so stay tuned and speak soon.
