This time next week...

This time next week, Myke and I will be in Perranporth. Our "home" will be a little caravan and we will be spending our days doing Nothing. Right now, that totally deserves a capital letter.

The sad little thing that I am, I have been writing lists for the past two weeks.
There's the List Of Things To Take. Then there's the List Of Things I Would Like To Take But Probably Shouldn't and the List Of Things I Would Like To Take But Probably Won't Fit In My Little Suitcase With Wheels. And let's not forget the List Of Things I Don't Have To Take But Probably Should.
I love lists.

I've got the necessities together, like all the stuff people use when they're naked. Like soap, shampoo, shower gel and a towel. And some other stuff.
Saturday will be spent washing all of my clothes. Yes, I will be bringing along my entire wardrobe. Unfortunately, my Entire Wardrobe consists of three pairs of jeans and about ten tops, including my hoodies. I think I will also be spending my Saturday buying a few more items to put in my wardrobe.

Also. I need to buy some Wellington Boots^{^}, for when I go to the beach. I need something to protect my feet from that nasty orangey-yellow grainy stuff on the beach. (What's the name of that stuff again? It begins with S, I know that. I'm thinking SATAN but I know it's not.)
Last year, I ruined a perfectly good pair of black Uggs (not the proper ones, a cheap pair, thankfully) and I STILL managed to get that stuff stuck all over my toes and - oh, I feel dirty and gross just thinking about it.

I've already bought myself a tripod for Montgomery II and a case. Not the £25 case I ordered last week, though! The site I ordered it off said that they were "awaiting stock", so I had doubts over whether I would get the spiffy made-for-Montgomery-II case. Myke suggested just going without a case and I swear, I damn near had a heart attack. My precious baby, out in that nasty sea-salty air, all unprotected? No.
So, I went and bought a "cheap" £10 one from Tesco yesterday.
When I went to check my emails earlier, guess what the first one said?!

So yes. So excited. Can't wait. Will have no internet connection. You lot get a holiday too.
