I've washed sheets and towels and hung them out on the line, I've ordered a garden bin collection service (they are making us pay now - we are giving it a trial for a year, as we do use it. If they don't collect because of a tiny smattering of sleet, there'll be trouble!) and I've checked in for our flights too and from Madrid. Even paid (!) to select seats so Mr P can have an aisle seat with extra legroom, as I hate to see him suffer ...

Amazing what you can do when you're meant to be writing an essay ...

Tidying the airing cupboard seems like a really important job, but, no ... !

Not for me Coco, I have an aversion to water (not in the French way)

I'm thinking about this (not the swimming!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ) but I'm not sure I get it???

I'm a bit cross though because I'm up for a bike ride - haven't been for ages - and it's perfect weather now the wind's died down. but:

a) I've got to get on with work and

b) not sensible until I've seen the fizz perhaps ... 

oooh, yes Flibs, do a masters! I'm going to spend the start (and maybe the finish) of my half term writing 5000 words .. 

Hope you do feel okay Spence. Ithink sometimes you worry about catching things and start to feel unwell - or play up any little queasiness.

No race report yet? tut!

We discovered a Thai takeaway which is only round the corner, but we never usually go that way (it's 2 sides of a triangle rather than the one we take!). Rather nice meal so we'll keep it on our list.

coffee now .. then I'm tied to articles and notes and a word processor ... 

Thaks for the link (it doesn't have a bar?) it looks lovely but looking at the price, it's a good job there's a lot of you going ... and a helpful map too. I'm okay with geography, but Montenegro is "one of those places in the Balkans ..."

FRIDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

(Spence, you said the O word  ... are they due or just an over anxious Head??)

I have taken duckling back to the farm along with all their equipment (more than a baby!) ( because I have a large car ...) We left them with their new friends from another school. 

Mr P has been shopping with my list for a Jamie Oliver 30 hour meal (oh, it's meant to be minutes?) - there's only a couple of things in the kitchen which are "I don't think I meant quite that ..." which is quite good. (I'm not sure exactly what Szechuan pepper is either, but I know it's not a Szechuan flavour sachet of stir fry sauce ... yes, I know it has the same word on it ... I'll go again tomorrow!!)

Meldy's back? Have a nice holiday? Don't read back - Daffy might get embarrassed ...

Did I mention I have two weeks for half term?

(although obvously I will be spending a good deal of it writing about Victorian crime and newspapers ... when I'm not in Madrid )
