Happy New Week all.
Back from busy day; friend's 'celebration' of her husband's life was lovely - she's a whizz with cameras, videos, etc, etc., and compiled a lovely video program that captured his life, interests, family, etc.. Lots of people turned out for a much-loved person. Two other friends and I were in charge of the lunch for the family after a memorial rock (from the part of the Sierras where he hiked every year for 70 straight years!!) was placed in the church's garden. The church group took over the post-service reception food. I'm not only tired but stuffed to the gills!
Lindybird: Interesting that our camellias are out tool love the daffs though - that's Springtime!
Hope all who have/are getting colds, etc., recover quickly.
Have a good Sunday!

He is creepy, isn't he?
Linda's Packing Tips I'll bore you with a few ideas I've picked up along the way: Hand Luggage - These days, you have to dig out anything electrical at the UK end of flying, so put all your bits & bobs, MP3s, cameras etc into one large plastic bag so this can be produced when you go through security. Take off your watch and put it into your hand baggage, then you can put it on again after you've gone through. My OH nearly always gets stopped and it's often his watch or his belt which is the culprit. Have a separate bag also inside your hand luggage for things Needed on The Plane - more about that later. Before you leave, photograph the important page inside your passport, the one with your photo and d.o.b., plus the Passport Number. Put it in a different bag to where you're going to carry your actual passport, as its in case you lose it, or its stolen, during your travels. It's much easier to apply for a replacement if you can produce all these details. I copy mine on our printer. In your hand luggage, put a pair of knickers or pants, and a comb. I have a mini toothbrush, too. This seems excessive, but once we were delayed, leaving Manchester, then taken a few miles on a replacement plane, to Birmingham, where we landed and were left overnight in a hotel with just hand luggage, to continue our journey to Spain the next day. I had a lipstick but little else. We spent two days and lots of hours travelling, in the one set of underwear.... Put a piece of coloured string on the handle of your suitcase, so that you can quickly identify it when it comes through on the conveyor. Most suitcases these days are black, so they all look much the same.
More tomorrow.
Very helpful, Lindy.
