Hi everyone,
it's a bank holiday weekend here and the weather forecast is good for today and tomorrow. It's alternating between sun and cloud today but quite hot when the sun comes out.
Having a quiet weekend at home. DD went for a sleepover last night (a few of them clubbed together to buy a cheap tent and pitched it in one of the girls' back gardens). Unfortunately, DD's period arrived this morning and she had bad cramps and nausea. So I had to collect her early this morning. A pity she had to miss out on some of the fun 
. She's been lying on the couch most of the day, feeling sorry for herself.
Starting to get excited about our holiday Monday week. I've been looking up things to do and places to visit. And making lists of things to bring. Irish holiday packing usually looks something like this:-
Raincoat
Warm hoodies
Jeans
T-shirts
Cropped trousers
Sun cream
Sun glasses
But on a positive note, I won't have to worry about luggage limits 
.
Eating out (on holiday) is going to be a challenge. Restaurants are open for outdoor dining only, so I'm not sure to what extent restaurants will have opened back up and how many outdoor tables they can fit outside and if it's likely to be pouring rain etc. etc. But if all else fails, we can eat in the hotel restaurants. It will also be a little strange visiting a very popular tourist area and not encountering coachloads of foreign tourists. A rather unique experience.
Enjoying a bit of self-care today - washing my hair and painting my nails and shaving my legs. Glad I got all my gardening done last weekend. This weekend I've just been watering my plants and dead heading etc.
NSD today
