21:26 – Zen of shoe polishing

Countdown to holiday: two days. On Friday, Mark, Dieter and I leave for Canada and the West Coast Trail. Since the "West" is often spelled "Wet", I spent some quality time in the company of bees wax and my boots. Wax on, wax off. Seams getting stronger, leather getting darker and ... well, leatherier.

This weekend, I also gave my leather hat a similar treatment. Pity I didn't take before/after shots. It looks much nicer now. More aged. More water-resistant too.

If now we don't see one drop of rain... No, no, I don't think I'll be grumpy if it doesn't rain at all.

Now for more packing. And more unpacking.

The things we drag with us into the bush.
