Where’s the time going…
It’s been a dreary wet Sunday in Cornwall and so what best to do, we thought, than concentrate on our travelling to do list. Our early optimism about having everything under control soon dissipated when we started adding more to the list than we were ticking off it! As it happens we have huge amounts to do in the 4.5 weeks left before we head off. 
We need to set our bubbling excitement aside and focus on the tasks at hand. A trip into town to buy merino wool underwear (apparently a serious travelers’ must have) was a good start to that process we thought… So we headed to Truro Cotswold Outdoor – our favourite outdoor apparel store in the area and went about looking for the intended items. Some time later and basket full of unintended items we proceeded to the checkout to come across this…
It was both surreal and exciting seeing leaflets promoting the organisation we’ll soon be working with right there in front of us.
For anyone interested these are the dates/venues of up coming Community Action Nepal lectures by our future ‘boss’ Doug Scott who’ll be talking about of his Everest adventures and voluntary work. Steve and I are catching his London lecture on the 11th before boarding our plane to Kathmandu on the 12th…
Despite our distractions we completed all intended tasks for the day and first impressions from Steve are that his Merino boxers really are the bees knees!
