It's 12 and I have so far only managed to walk dog and sit in the sunshine. It is blazing hot down South. The tulips are racing to tell me what colours I've planted in different places, as I've completely forgotten - it will either be bubblegum or something tastefully pallid.
Dd is trying to go on a Nepal trip with her school after A levels, she has to fund raise "a lot"to go, has anyone heard good things about these sort of trips - I think it is a "my friends are going" situation rather than any interest in travel. I don't want her to go really, I feel fund raising will clash with A levels.
We heard from ds recently. He said he occasionally felt OMG how I am going to get through the next 24 hours (deadlines, social stuff) but then he lay down on his bed, breathed deeply and then just tried to do just that...get through the next 24 hours...It is the first time he has confessed to being a bit overwhelmed sometimes. He also has a habit of ringing to tell us tiny details of incredible tedium, like how he found he was allowed to wear a white teeshirt instead of white shirt with collar for some concert..
and how he had purchased one from Primark. Perhaps the best thing is to pretend this is fascinating, when really I want to hear who he is friends with 
Fantasy London is a big place, and there will always be lots of different people to meet and frightening situations, I hope she meets some nice groups soon and the police can reassure, even if the stolen stuff isn't found..
