Preparation

There is lots to do today since we are going away on holiday tomorrow. So for starters I set about packing the case - luckily we don't need too much since where we are going has a washing machine, so no need for the compulsory 14 pairs of pants, socks t-shirts and the like.

With the case done, and perhaps more shoes, gizmos, books and crosswords packed than clothes it's then onto giving the house a clean so its not a mess when we come back. Phil helps out too with the dusting and vacuuming and it doesn't take too long before we're all set.

We do have to nip to town to get some Euros which was simple enough (except for the fact that if we wanted to get the euros via debit card we had to produce our passports!) so cash it was, after a quick trip to the cash point.

Despite getting most of our stuff done by early evening, somehow though we still don't manage to get to bed until about 10 pm, meaning we've just got 3 hours kip before we have to be up again and ready to drive to the airport.
