Let's Pack!

 Okay, let's not. But let's think about it. 

Until the cat is safely ensconced at his Aunt and Uncle's tomorrow night, I will not be dragging out the suitcase. he freaks out at the sight of a case being packed.  However, I will be getting some packing cubes ready, as they are the best things ever. 

So, what are we taking overseas for three weeks where the weather will vary from about 15 degrees to possibly 30, depending on the city. 

This is half of what I've been thinking about for the last month, so I'm pretty set.

This is what's going in my suitcase:

Dresses:

• Green dress - it's a light cotton, good for evenings. 
• Black knit dress. Dress it up, dress it down. 
• Little stripy dress - for day wear. It's bamboo. Warm it up with leggings. 
• Longer flowy black and white dress. Good for mooching around in. 
• Favourite light long black summer dress. It weighs nothing. 

Legs:

• Two pairs of bamboo leggings
• One pair of black jeans
• One pair of blue jeans
• One light pair of black linen pants for lazing around Sommieres. 

Tops:

• 2 x tanks
• 3 x short sleeved t-shirts
• One Pixies band t-shirt
• 2 x long sleeved tops.

Shoes:

• Black Chelsea boots
• White Birkenstocks
• White Runners.
• And I will think about taking my running shoes

Flowy, floaty things:

• My light dressing gown
• My green duster - heavier cotton - great id-weight article. 
• My silk duster - again, for floating around Sommieres.
• My light woolen coat - I love wearing it, good for if the weather turns

Underwear:

• A week's worth of knickers
• Four bras in various colours
• A couple of pairs of socks
• Two pairs of black opaque tights. 

Incedentals:

• Pyjamas
• Red bathers (for Sommieres)
• Sarong
• Blood Pressure cuff
• Tarot Cards
• Kindle
• One pack of Savoys (Care packet for Jess)
• One pack of BBQ shapes (Care packet for Jess)
• Four Crunchies (Care packet for Dev)
• Toiletries bag
• Makeup
• Kindle
• Travel laptop and charger
• Peripherals (Mouse, charging cables)
• Notebook
• Spare glasses
• Portable travel bag (so I don't have to lug my suitcase down to Sommieres. 

Looking at this list, it seems like a lot - but as a big woman, clothes can be hard to find on short notice.

And some of this stuff weighs absolutely nothing. 

What have I missed?
