Spike? It's you. It's really you! My therapist thought I was holding on to false hope, but…I knew you'd come back. You're like…you're like Gandalf the White, resurrected from the pit of the Balrog, more beautiful than ever. Oh…he's alive Frodo. He's alive.

You're going to England with just a carryon, Sue? I'm impressed.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

It's a gorgeous day! 72degF, breezy, cloudy with sun, the perfect day for staying inside and opening all the windows and cleaning things.

Looking forward to your trip reports, Sue! I can barely pack for a weekend in a carryon.

Yep. Four dresses, a pair of pants, three t-shirts, leggings, two pairs of shoes, rain jacket, and three cardigans. I did take out one sweater, since it's supposed to be in the 18-20C range while we're there. The pants are the only thing I am questioning, since I rarely wear pants these days.

If you take out the pants, what will you wear the t-shirts with?

Good to have them if you need them, though. Not that I can think of a pants-requiring situation off the top of my head, but I just made coffee, my not being able to think of it hardly signifies it isn't common.

I turned the heat on last night! May we finally be past those damn 90 degrees.

I normally have to change the bed around a 25-pound dog, which involves shooing him from one side of the bed to the other. Today, however, he was outside when I started, but trotted in just as I got to the blanket. He jumped for the bed just as I flipped out the blanket, and landed on it when it was still a few inches above the bed. He curled up and looked at me as though he had planned this Olympic feat.

Have a great trip, Sue. I always wear pants, so to me, every situation except for perhaps meeting the Queen requires pants.

If I take out the pants, I would probably just leave one tshirt for slounging.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Somehow I feel like pants work for a wider range of temperatures -- 18-20C seems like too cool for bare legs, but too warm for tights, so just right for pants. IMO.

The British Isles can produce a combination of fog and rain that makes 18-20C seem much colder.

That's still bare leg temp for me, especially while walking around. It's more the evenings, which will be in the low teens, that I am thinking of. Also if we end up going anywhere parklike, or rocky, I will want pants.
