Day 11


M came home from Auntie's just as we were settling in to do some budget planning for our NZ trip.
She "undressed" our Christmas tree, ready for me to take it apart and put it away for another year. It's time to start thinking about school supplies, not Christmas, even though CMPhoto is sharing her countdown with us on a regular basis on SS!

I went for another walk this morning but this time we went bush. It was a good chance to stretch out some of the muscles that were a bit sore from yesterday's race and an opportunity to do some bushwalking prior to our big mountain walk in New Zealand. After an hour and a half at the hiking shop yesterday I got my new hiking boots as well as some good socks, sock liners, zip off 3/4 pants and a neck roll to keep out the cold. I've also ordered a pair of 3/4 thermal underpants. I'm looking forward to wearing all my new gear, especially trying my hiking boots around here before we go. I thought about wearing the boots today, but I think I'll wear them around home a bit for a few days first...
