223/365
it makes me really angry that i have to post this. oh well, that's a 365 for ya, i guess. packing hours before i left for california.
I dusted off my old Sony a200. (I hadn't used it in the last 2 years.) It seems to take a better image than I remember. Hopefully that means I've learned a bit about cameras and photography in that time :)
Finally received the passports back from the India Consulate with our visas. Frustrating, inscrutable process fraught with bureaucracy… Now I can start preparing the camera equipment which always seems to take longer than packing my clothing!
My 365-2023: #59 of 365
All the stuff that I took for our around the world trip. Not shown: ipod, camera, baseball hat, everyday/hiking shoes.
And in more than one box too! Packing up the house this week in advance of a house move.
Today I packed away all of Joannas stuff - clothes, wigs etc etc. De-princessing on a major scale.
Dan on the grounds of the Washington Monument, taking down the makeshift graveyard set up by the "Camp Out Now" anti-war protesters. Washington, DC.
I'm as guilty as the next person of over-filling a boot so you have to slam it shut. I've even brought a double bed flat pack home from Ikea in a saloon car - but I've never had a car-to-item-size ratio as ambitious as this :)
the usual packing method that Kirsten and I use to check we both have everything. On this 4 day hike / camping and 3 day city break I tried to reduce clothing to a minimum. Ideally getting total weight down to 15kg.
This is the kit it's going to take to keep Connected Live and me as a presenter going for two and a half days of Scottish Learning Festival. I'm astonished at how much of it stuff I actually own myself.
PS: After Steve's comment I added the replacement prices - about £5000 in total. I should now point out that I do not travel with this all the time, and most of it would stay in work ;-)
Well, it's that time again. Time to head back to school. To the sunny South - the land of beaches and textbooks and friends and piano practice and sunshine and studying.
I HOPE that I'll be a little better about flickring this semester... but no promises!!
Until summer break, then, chicas!!
Much love!

Many people find it stressful to move to a new house due to many #household items which are heavy and fragile. Unpacking too is a tiresome job if things were not packed in an orderly manner. Luckily professionals and expert movers have come up with tips and ways of packing in order to make every move on that specific day #systematic and smooth.
Get rid of the things you don’t use or need
When you are planning to move into a new house, consider getting rid of things that you no longer use. These include clothes, shoes, electronics and kitchen items such as old #coffee #makers and other items. Consider packing these items and give them to people of good will around your community. By so doing, the bulk of unnecessary items will reduce hence making the items to be packed to be less. It will also minimize overcrowding in your new house.
Consider looking for the best moving company one month prior the moving day
Compare prices of the moving companies and any other terms of payment to prevent unexpected costs during the #moving day. Also, check the moving company that you have chosen if it is licensed to ascertain the security of your items. Plan with the company the best flexible day to move in. It is also crucial to map the best and easiest route to use before the moving day. Look for possible traffic; detour and other constructions that might be scheduled on a moving day. This will make the journey more manageable and less tiresome as there will be no obstructions on the way.
When you are moving to a new house, start packing as early.
Start with things that are not being used for the time being. This includes decorations, some clothes, books that you have already read and other things that might not be of use. This is done by buying boxes from a nearby shop together with different packing materials like packing tapes, cardboard boxes, putty, extra screws and wrapping papers from a nearby hardware store. Pack items like books, toiletries, clothes as well as kitchen utensils in separate boxes and label the boxes at the top and on sides. This will make unpacking an easy task as each box will be taken to where those items are kept. Also, number your boxes to make sure that all things reached and no box was stolen.
Stop shopping like two weeks earlier
To avoid wasting any #food, consume all the shopping at home. Don’t buy more supplies unless you need them. Also, you can call friends and neighbors to take extra shopping that you might have. Pack extra toiletries and cleaning items in a different bag. These are items that will be used immediately when you rich the new home. Consider also packing extra clothes, laptop, and any other thing that you might need before unpacking. Call friends and relatives to help you in packing when you are moving to your new house. During the moving day ensure all things are handled with care especially electronics and other fragile items .When you reach to your new home, put someone in charge of unpacking process. This will help the task move smoothly without wasting time. Consider taking a picture of the new house before bringing your items inside. This is to show any damage that would be there.
Finally, appreciate all the people who helped you by ordering food, drinks, and snacks for them.
Activity: It's time to go! Your family is traveling to the next campsite, ten miles away. Your job is to pack the travois.
1. Spread the red blanket or an animal hide over the lower end of the travois.
2. Arrange the parfleches (which contain dried pumpkin and dried meat) and bags of dried corn and beans on the travois and in the side pockets.
3. Spread the remaining blanket or hide over the travois to hold everything in place.
4. Shake the travois as if you were walking across the prairie. How well did you pack?
