There has been some major downsizing on the quartergapyear today. I bought myself the tiniest of backpacks that holds little more than a swin suit and pair of MC Hammer traveller pants and have left everything else in the care of Brian, a mate of Mr Smith’s. Merci beaucoup for the connection, John.
Here, evidence – the small bag in the middle and the guitar are all that will travel with me tomorrow as I head out to the islands. Better hope I’ve got everything I need, as Brian has just left with the rest of my gear…
