Okay, well, tomorrow I leave for a month at my cottage.

Today, I'm doing laundry and cleaning the house (or at least contemplating it), so that everything will be ship-shape and Bristol fashion when I eventually return.

Tonight, I'm doing some last-minute shopping (including a stop at the liquor store).

And then, I just need to pack.

But, I'm feeling a bit scattered and I'm afraid I might forget to bring something important. So, I'm asking for the Pub's collective advice:

What essentials does a young(ish) Ship's [shanty] Mistress need to bring with her for a month-long sojourn on the shores of a northern lake?

[Don't be afraid to get creative with your suggestions.]

Cheers, Hester

Rum

Thanks, Silkie:

Yess, rum's always at the top of the list! I do have a cache of it up there already but um ... maybe I need some different flavour varieties.

Pirate Bikini!

I was going to say ' Pirate thong' but a bikini works better!

Pirate Bikini!

Hi, Siren & Bess:

Well ... my bikini days are quite a few pounds ago.

However, I do have a sleek black Speedo in my bag.

Earlier this summer, I sewed this fabulous pirate patch onto the bodice:

Alas, the ink was not colourfast, and the first time I swam in it, the patch ran. I had to meticulously pick out the stitches to remove the patch and salvage the suit.

I'm now on the lookout for a replacement patch with a piratey theme (but I'll test its colourfastness first before I sew it on this time).

Cheers, Hester

Aye, Rue:

J.'s bringing his to use as a portable DVD player.

But, there's no internet connection up there, so I won't be able to access the Pub with it.

Cheers, Hester
