I definitely think this is my special skill.
Other people can cook, paint, sail, are amazing at excel (god I still get twitchy if I have to open that computer program), some can dash about on roller blades, sing in tune to the radio. None of things would I say I do with any aplomb.
But it would seem that packing is something I am good at. This is not something I think women really do that well. I mean how often do you see Women with enormous pink suitcases in Heathrow, filled to the brim, zip bulging. This is clearly a rhetorical question – as the answer is all the time! Although, I do think whomever came up with the wheely suitcase should be given a major pat on the back as he or she has certainly saved many people some rather nasty back pain!
I am off to Paris tomorrow morning with some friends. Yippee! And my task is to fit 5 days worth of stuff into an easy to carry bag.
So I had better get my thinking cap on – to make sure that everything fits, matches and is clean!
