Unsettlingly Settled

Only one more sleep. I had hoped to make the title of this post "The Storm Before the Calm" but alas everything has been remarkably tranquil. More like a brisk autumn breeze blowing leaves busily along the track than thunder and lightning.

The girls have been occupied with the traditional worries that have concerned children embarking on a long journey since time immemorial. Will we miss our friends? Will we get lost? Will we be eaten by crocs? Will we die of thirst in the desert? Will we have internet reception?

Nic has been flat out like a lizard drinking organising our financial affairs, cleaning the house, organising the food and clothes, preparing stuff for the house sitters, etc.

I have been equally busy tinkering with camping and 4WD gear in the shed.

We seem to be ready and its only early in the evening. And still the biggest 'discussion' we have had is over the font.

All very unsettling really.

We'll see you when the dust settles.
