The day before leaving for the big adventure, and strangely, things are very calm in the Thomson household. The children are watching TV (a sin, since it is such a beautiful day), Alasdair's off to the gym and I'm still in my bathrobe in the kitchen. Have started packing and the terrible thing is that I do not know where to start. Alasdair has packed all five sets of golf bags and I've packed all the presents for my family in Manila, which came out to not too much as I did not really have much time to shop.
Clothes should not be a problem - we are going to Southeast Asia at the hottest time of year, so no need for heavy clothing. And should I forget anything, I can always borrow from my sisters, and the children from one of their many (12) cousins. If I'm honest, not knowing where to start is not the problem. It's that I tend to think that the packing will be easy, so I leave it to the last minute, and ultimately end up going to bed at 4am the night before a 6am flight.
So I suppose I really should get going. After all, not only am I packing for myself, I am also packing for three children. Joy.
A demain, then.
