Let's all go on a summer holiday

I am packed (except for what I am wearing and Pania) and have a taxi booked for 8.00am tomorrow morning, so I will be in plenty of time for the bus.

Tabitha is loaded up with a few podcasts (Girl Genius radio plays and A Very Long Summer - thank you for the suggestion, tamarillow) and whatever music took my fancy as I scrolled through itunes. Pania has been loaded up with assorted Yuletide fics saved as html and my entire e-book collection. I have packed thesane's wedding sampler and the Maidens of the Seasons to do in way of handwork. I have even remembered to pack my ipod cable and cellphone charger.

I keep thinking I've forgotten something, but I'm not sure what.

There will possibly still be an unsecured network somewhere around my parents place that I can pick up. There might be something in Raglan, but failing that Gran has broadband, so I will at least be able to check my email. Won't be online much, though.

Most of the leftovers from Christmas have been used up. Still to go are assorted mince-meat pies (and I still have about a jar of the mince-meat to go), half the ham, and an entire cheesecake. I couldn't face any cheesecake until today, so tamarillow has an entire one to herself and whoever she chooses to share it with. I don't think it will freeze well.

Spent a couple of hours in town today. Bought another set of summer sheets, a new nightie, and a couple of pillowcases, all of which were planned, and a set of cocktail glasses, so when we experiment with cocktails we use something other than tumblers or sherry glasses. Town wasn't too busy, but it was ridiculously muggy, so I gave up trying on clothes and got the other stuff instead.
