Day 339: Crossing Things Off

In seven shifts and twelve hours of working time, plus a few days off, I am heading overseas for a hiking holiday. A continuation of a journey: Land's End to John O'Groats. I need to get some things. It's always best to make a list. And cross it off.

• Fabric for a Brownie Uniform: my hikes have 'B' based themes
• Fabric for a Brownie Smock
• Sundries for sewing a Brownie uniform and a Brownie smock Sewing in progress as we speak!
• Brownie badges: only ones whose skills I can justifiably say I possess Handcrafts, Traveller, Literary Arts, Camp Craft, Communications, Emergency, Weather: I am skilled in all of those, and if you are questioning the last, I am a signed-up and paid-up active member of the Cloud Collectors community
• An orange tie: to wear with my Brownie outfits Gifted from my boy
• A white shirt: ditto
• A brown beanie
• Gloves Black, not white like Brownies, but, hey, white is a nightmare on a hike!
• Wool Socks Some bought, some gifted—Thanks B——
• Undies
• Cargo Pants Well, okay, I bought two pairs. One for hiking and a skinny pair for being a fashionista in.

• Merino Thermal Leggings Ditto
