British Airways cabin crew union announces strike dates but they begin five days after we fly. By bedtime we have everything packed - wrapped, boxed, taped and tied, except for the microwave and the drying rack for the clothes - the latter inherited at some point along the way. Actually most of the useful bits and pieces were inherited or from charity shops but they're all things that come in handy - like the soup pot or the serrated knife and the radio. It's rather an editorial "we" - the we that have finished packing. I've helped line things up but J has done all the slotting in as well as sealing all with hockey tape and tying up with cord.
