The countdown begins

So far the colds seem to be keeping at bay. I still suspect the real problem lies with tiredness rather than germs. I found it quite noticeable that in the middle of the day we both seemed reasonably well, but got worse after dinner. Today I'm feeling brighter.

The Fox is in charge of the cooking today. He's going to tackle some fish goujons. He's never tried battering & deep-frying his own fresh fish. He's also going to make a dip to accompany it, a sort of spicy tomato relish, another new experience for him. I'm looking forward to it.

After that I've only got one meal in hand & that we'll have on Saturday. We're down to emptying our fridge before our hols. This usually results in a series of old favourites ending with a prawn stir fry which uses up just about any remaining veg. Then we'll really know we're on our way.

Yesterday we were surprised to discover that the day we set off for our hotel near the airport is the same day Mr P flies off to France to chair a conference on inter-school exchanges throughout Europe. He half suggested we meet up while he waits for his evening plane. I suspect it won't happen. You usually seem to have to got through the barrier long before the flight in order to pass all the security arrangements in less than an hour. We'll see.
