I went to Mam's early this morning so she could repeat what she told me yesterday. Then I went in to work. I'm panicking a bit in case I can't get everything done in time for going away. I always think about 2 weeks ahead as I can't bear to be up against it. My planning occasionally works, but if it fails it's not for the want of trying.

I had a trip into town for budgie spares and bird food, a cup of Cafe Nero's best and no accidental cake.

I walked across the swing bridge on the way back from town. People were zipping for charity. The only zipping I did was my bodywarmer.
