Countdown still going..............

The departure is now getting iminent as I say goodbye to family and friends.  There seem to be so many bits of things to sort out.  But it will all be worth it later next week when I am in Istanbul and even more worth it when I get on that bus on Wednesday 24th.   So in the meantime I will just content myself with a final clear up of the house so I don't get back to a tip and a few injections for some those diseases that one would rather not know about even less go somewhere where you might pick them up!
