List
Packnaturally, I have worked out which knitting to take, but not much else. Well, books. I am taking the books that are on the 1001 books list and also need to go back to the library Monday week. Also going are the DVDs of Casino Royale, Cambridge Spies, Torchwood, Enchanted and Dr Who. I have eclectic tastes.- Brownie Accounts (I want to ignore them, but I shall feel bad if I do) If I do not leave soon, I shall never actually GO on holiday. So they are ignored
Note for flatmate with emergency numbersVaguely tidy up post-packing- Various blog related items
- Work out where to get jingle bells Huzzah! Cambridge has a John Lewis!
Sort out craft for sleepover. Possibly need paint. I know we lack green paint at Brownies, but considering the unadulterated MESS that they made last night, I am in no hurry. They enjoyed themselves, unlike poor Brown Owl who was wiping the floor and the walls in an effort to disguise the mess. The new caretaker at the hall is not a patch on the old one.Go on holiday- Watch Quantum of Solace while on holiday
- Chase A/Ac form First, require phone number of woman who is supposed to have mailed it to me.
- Mail Thank You veterans All addressed, needs LARGE stamp.
Restrain self from worrying about entire rugby team, and whether they’re injuring themselves at today’s match (last year, when they went over to Paris, one of them came back with his leg in several pieces). I know they are mostly twice my size, apart from the wingers and hooker, but I worry about them. They are students, I am staff – and as the guy in the Finance Programme Office says, to a degree, we are still in loco parentis. Fret, fret, fretty, fret.We won! We won! They are all in one piece and we won! Danced round train carriage in relief. Am sure there will be various drink related injuries in the course of the evening, but that is something that I do not worry so much about.

I love it that knitting is the first thing on the list!
You work in a school?
I think your attitude toward the rugby team is much like your attitude toward the Brownies, except for the liquor/glitter distinction.
@fibermom - It’s a postgrad school, so they are starting to get a little old for rugby. It’s likely their last season playing except for gentle alumni-type games. ~x~
(faintly) The…walls? *closes eyes* Next time I will be organised enough to put the paint into small saucers with brushes. At least two tables had to be doused with cream cleaner to get the paint off. I am very grateful B wasn’t there. Last night + ADHD would have = tears. Lots of.
Cambridge may have a John Lewis, but it doesn’t have much else. I detest shopping in Cambridge. I think it’s those damn bikes more than anything else …
Yay! for the rugby team!
