Garden Gnome

I decided to go with this today, my handsome boy Jax in the garden.  He had eyes on a squirrel in the woods and absolutely refused to look at me, but I kind of like his profile so that's what I'm going with.  

I had a great FT chat with my parents this morning, our last until I get back from Brazil.

I've finished packing, exchanged messages with everyone in the group, breathed through some anxiety, and now all that is left is to shower, put on my travel clothes and head to the airport.  Hilly is taking off from London a few hours before me so I will keep track of her flight.  Our plan is to meet outside of customs at the São Paulo airport so we can share an Uber to the hotel.  Oh, who am I kidding - so we can spend time together!  Got word that the fifth member of our group had to cancel at the last moment, so it will be just 4 of us - pretty much a private tour, which is very nice.  And a zero-drama bunch which makes for more relaxing trip.  

Thank you to everyone who left stars, hearts and comments on my milestone blip yesterday.  I've read every comment but will not be able to reply individually so a huge collective "thank you" to all of the wonderful people here!  

See you in Brazil!
