Details

Insurance. Camera, memory cards, flash drive. Mobile phone. UK sim card. Bank account, National Insurance number, utility bills, confirmation of address. Debit cards, travellers' cheques, exchange rates. Passport photos. Photocopies.

All the little, niggly bits that go with flying away, with leaving the wonderfully comfortable (and frustrating) life that has been carved out for me here. Somehow, seeing to all this yourself makes it seem much more real. Every task has an aura of challenge, responsibilty - and so, its completion also carries a finality. A sense of something being done.

I like this feeling. Shall do more, from now on.
