The Final Countdown!



 Yep, its all coming to an end, the packing that is.  After an almighty effort by team Matt and Soph (with the odd bit of outside help) the little shack on Barker Ave is coming to a close.  The rooms are empty, the cupboards are bare, boxes packed, floors cleaned and a house full of echos.

2's company, 3s.... a competition?


As I reached into the letter box the other day I was excited to see a mysterious package (who doesn't love getting a package in the mail) sitting there waiting for us to collect it.  What could it be? Who is it from? I flip over the parcel and see Barb's name scrawled on the back...... what's she up to?  Barb and Jase are 2 of those people who you can guarantee will be up to some sort of scheme, so the mind started to wander? What could it be? The list running through my head was pretty long and imaginative, I wouldn't put anything past them.

So inside I rush to rip open the parcel and what should i find..... more like who should I find?  We now have a new travel buddy with orders to be taken everywhere.  So with 3 weeks left to go, our group is now up to three!

He/ she/ it was accompanied by only the briefest of notes (see the above photo).  No introduction, no name, no background, no criminal background check, nothing!  So the search is on, who is this and what is their background?

So here lies the first 'Our Two Boots' competition!
Your job: to name and provide a background for our new travel buddy!  Leave your entries and your name in the comments section below!  Prizes not guaranteed, but respect given!

The Packing Begins!

Taking on the Kitchen, this battle continues...

There's officially only one month to go till take off day and let me tell you, the packing has really stepped up a notch this weekend!  The initial dred of having to somehow convince all that stuff to fit into bags and boxes quickly morphed into laughs a plenty as we were taken on a trip down memory lane.  As we tackled a new cupboard or shelf, we rediscovered lost little treasures, that weren't always that welcome.

One Long Run!



42km to go!
The epic journey began 6 months ago, when Jess Clark (inspiration) called it and I decided that I wanted to do a marathon before Matt (even though he technically did one as part of his ironman).
