Knife edges and banana leaves

Dear Sarah - Day 198 of our daily drawing exchange

Dear Sarah -

My low grade worrying has begun… by the time you see me tomorrow I will be actively not thinking about where Fabio and a couple of buddies might be. They are getting up at 3 am and then setting off to do the Rundle Traverse - a 25 km journey (scramble/climb/hike) from the EEOR (East End of Rundle) to Banff along the top edge of the Rundle massif. If all goes smoothly, I will likely be picking them up from Banff late in the day. When all goes smoothly, I should say.

I made the mistake of taking a look at photos taken by others who have done the route. Not for the faint of heart, shall we say?

VERY happy to be hanging out and drawalking with you - seems like a much saner way to spend a Friday.

See you tomorrow -
Nikki

Hi Nikki,

When I finally sat down to paint today, the lesson wasn't online, so I decided to do something called an Easy and Relaxing Tropical Doodle on YouTube. It was neither of those things, and I only got as far as four banana leaves before my sister-in-law turned up. Then my brother came, then my nephew and his dog. The only place to paint is at the dining room table in an open plan kitchen/living room/dining room setup, so I stopped painting.

Four of us + the dog went for a walk and now dinner is being prepared and tennis is being watched. I have retired to my room for a few minutes to send you my rather lame contribution for the day.

See you tomorrow,

XO S
