Decadence
Well, it’s been a decadent day – we dispatched both the children to Ruth’s childminder for the day (big wails and protests from Adam all the way there, until John left him – at which point he was fine 
), so I had a day to myself – so this morning I met with a friend who was similarly free of offspring for the day, and we went to Waitrose for a coffee, and spent all our time chatting about our children.
Then this afternoon John and I went to the vicarage to check out their tent, and practise putting it up – it’s huge! And all the bits are there, and it’s in very good nick, so we really can all go 
Oh, and I started a list of things we need to take. We now have a system for packing that works. I make a list a day or two before we go away. On the day itself the list gets put in the middle of the dining room table and we both cross things off as they get packed/put in the hall. We do still get cross with each other, but less so than if we’re continually saying “We mustn’t forget x” to each other.
John has finished Harry Potter 6 (I finished it at the weekend) – we can now discuss it. (Don’t worry, no spoilers coming up.) We both find it much better written than 4 & 5 (both of which I find very difficult to remember – 5 in particular was pretty tedious) – and I maintain a somewhat controversial view of Snape.
