Well, nice to see the blog won't be neglected in my absence 😉

Although I’ve got so much to do before I go, I ought to be neglecting it myself!

So tired though….very very tempted to just go to bed now. But I’ve done next to nothing today, so I really ought to get a few bits polished off first.

Major thing I did achieve, is getting the tent up and checked over. Phew, it’s fine. I couldn’t remember whether I’d sorted it out before putting it away last year, but guess I must have done as it was absolutely fine. Only one strap where the stitching had come undone, so restitched that, although I didn’t get around to straightening the extremely bent tent pegs. Didn’t find the extra strong replacements we bought last year either, which is a bit annoying….I’m sure we did buy them and not just discuss it. I think.

Anyway, lovely day spent mainly in the garden, but didn’t realise how sunny it was! Small was OK, nice long sleeved shirt and trousers, but Big, running around in a variety of dressing up outfits, has managed to catch the sun on her shoulders 🙁 Bad mummy. We had Kris and Sarah round to watch me prove that I can put the tent up and down by myself 😉 and amuse the children – they brought lunch as well, so they can come again 🙂 Oh, and I think Small spoke – he said “choglet” when I offered him a chocolate icecream. Not that he actually ate it, nor would he repeat the statement. Asked him whether he’d like to go away for a week in the tent – he looked at me very seriously and said “no”. Oh dear!

So tomorrow, I need to run around frantically and sort everything out. Maybe an early night would be a good idea…
