Above the waist, below the waist. That's how Wobbly Wheels packs each pannier. It's become a defining factor of the trip and makes me laugh not least for a brief insight into the ridiculousness that sometimes possesses the man I married. I've explained my 'less is more' approach to packing, cyclewear in one bag, casual wear in another, etc. I think it's easy but maybe this too is odd and it is as much my idiosyncrasy or oddity as the above is for WW. Socks, jocks and shorts below the waist. T-shirts above the waist. What about pyjamas then? To split or not to split? Your head on the pillow, according to WW's wisdom, ergo it's above the waist. Toiletries? Well duh, most are used on or around the head/face, above the waist. Okay then what about laptop! Huh! Gotcha there. 'You use your fingers to type therefore it's above the waist' WW says. I'm starting to wonder if there might just be a hint of logic to his unorthodox approach. I can't quite bring myself to apply the same theory to my own bags, it just feels, well, so wrong. But on this occasion I may have to admit there is a method to WW's madness.
