Almost there

Almost there.  Most things are packed and ready.  We’ve been necessarily delayed by Kim’s dad undergoing hospital tests, but these seem to have mainly positive results and so we feel that we can go.  In any event, Kim can always get back in a few hours if the need arises.

Note trial 'washing machine' up front.  The idea is that the washing will slosh about in the soap suds as we go along, then all they need is rinsing and drying.
