Wish I was there with you miss K, so I could get all that packing done for you and see to your poor sore legs and feet.
Me-currently taken a flask containing a chemical reaction out of the microwave after the latest irradiation burst and now its up to temperature, placing it in a cooling bath, before the cycle repeats again. Getting set up to make some elemental bromine from sodium bromide solution and passing chlorine gas through it (the Cl2 being more reactive displaces Br to form Br2 and NaCl, the bromine precipitates out (barring a slight solubility in water, enough to color it but most of it should drop out in a dense, heavy liquid blob under water, to be carefully extracted with a glass syringe after being left under water, whilst the water is cooled in an ice-salt bath for several hours (the cooling being to prevent or at least minimize escape of the bromine, so it can stay in contact with water long enough for any of the byproduct, bromine monochloride, a highly toxic gas albeit one that can be liquefied easily with cooling alone, to hydrolyze)
