Upcoming holiday

I think I may well bypass the full cold that has been passing through the family. I had all the signs of getting one, right down to the scratchy throat, tiredness and the achiness that sometimes accompanies a cold. But it doesn’t seem to be going any further than that. I hope it’s not saving itself for the week after next when we are leaving for a three-day holiday down south (between Albany and Denmark).

I think we are just about set for our departure. I have gotten the cat vaccinated and organised boarding with the vet service. Our weekly paper delivery will be delayed until we return because there is nobody to take it over. The supervisor was going to just cancel the order for our area as he does for others on holiday but we decided that we’d deliver them after our return rather than have some of the residents miss out.

I’m going to have the boys plan out our travel route next week and see how they do. I suspect the Scientist and I will have to help out a bit but I think they should be able to plan most of it.

It’s kind of funny to think that our planned trip to Sri Lanka for two weeks in February was cancelled and this is the replacement. It’s not quite the same but it will be nice to just be away from home for a short time.
