– I’m not. It therefore worries me a bit that the only instructions we’ve had about this weekend’s company outing (or “kick-off”, as the in-word is at the moment) is to bring sleeping bags, bath things and warm clothes and to pack in a backpack. The guys have also to bring something to sleep on, but we girls don’t, for which I’m relieved. Still, this sounds a lot like we’re about to encounter some nature and such. Which is all very well, but I’m not entirely sure that I’m really cut out for this sort of thing. One of the “urban” tv-channels ran an ad last year which said “Happy Easter. You don’t need a map and compass, if you get lost you call for a cab.” Now, that’s me. I know (or at least I used to know) how to work a map and compass, but I’d much rather not, really.
And the forecast is for rain. Just great.
Anyway, I suppose it give me an excuse to go shopping, as I really don’t own a pair of shoes suitable for a walk in the woods (or a walk anywhere that isn’t tarmacked, really). I’ve been thinking about getting a pair of hiking boots for a while, and I suppose this might be the right moment to follow up on that thought.
I’ll keep you posted.
