Morning lovely fledglings!
Congrats on mahoosive Flying efforts *Tonis! And good luck with your boudoir today!
Hope your ds is feeling a bit better and doc was helpful Einstein
Having a bit of a minor hyperventilation here! I know this is terribly pfb but dd (nearly 13 yrs, only child) has just left on 7 day camp. (Was cooking her favourite supper this morning at 6 am - pesto pasta, bacon and kenyan beans - they had to take lunch and dinner with them for first day! Not worried about any of it because know organisers well (well, always slightly worried about poss of coach crash) but not really perturbed about it except for kayaking bit. There's been so much rain that the rivers will be really full and currents strong. DD is a good swimmer but has a tendency to panic a bit if things are outside of her control. Kayaking being led by outside professional org (not the church group she is going with) and I am assured that they have proper life jackets etc but 'elf and safety here is way behind that of the UK. And breathe ... . Please someone tell me it will be ok won't it .. of course it will .. yes it will... I hope. [gulp and breathe]]
Aside from that, who knew that packing for a 7 day camping trip just for one child could so exhausting? (Hats off to those of you who do it for more!) In the past couple of days we have had three trips to Decathlon, discovered all the things we have grown out of having only bought them new a few months ago such as K-way, swimsuit and trainers. When we went on the last day of June, I neglected to notice that the sale was started on 1 July and so when we returned for second time, saw fleece we had bought for Euros 30 on sale for Euros 15 [bum]. We have searched in vain for dd's walking boots and decided we left in them in the UK so had to buy new boots too We have sewn a laundry bag (obligatory) and found the sleeping bag thank God. Amused to see that she has been asked to take pan scouriers, tea towels and a vegetable knife [evil laugh mwah mwah mwah ] Rosary beads, head torch, four sheets of A3 coloured cardboard, a crepe bandage and a packet of chalk are also required .
House suddenly seems very quiet ... .
Big waves to everyone else!
