5 days to go

Not long now. Lot's of things left to do, but Aidan's fridge-based countdown tells us unequivocally that there is not enough time to do them. Kind of liberating in one way, but in another way it adds a layer of stress that isn't exactly helpful. Still, one way or the other Sunday afternoon will come round and we will be on our way.

There is a fair bit of excitement, except for Lauren who has absolutely no idea what is about to happen to her!

Hopefully she travels well, but Justine and I are not bothering to pack any reading material for the 20+ hours of travel, so that probably says something about our expectations...

Feels like one of those weeks where you are just filling in time waiting for the next real thing to happen.
