all set!

was worried about squeezing everything into my carry-on bag - flying with the dreaded Ryanair as they fly from Liverpool direct to Porto - and for a fleeting minute considered just taking the compact.... no way!! as it happens it has all gone in no problem. might even squeeze a bottle of duty free port in on the way back!

will back blip some holiday snaps on my return, I am determined to reach at least 100 without a break! no need to comment on this, just didn't want to wait till about 11 this evening in case anything went wrong.

thanks to all my newly found blip friends for making this community so welcoming. I will miss you!!!
