There is great excitement in the house as tomorrow we are actually going away for the weekend. We are going to The Farmhouse at Matopos, about half an hour's drive from Bulawayo, but we could be going half way across the world, we are so excited.
In the last five years, the longest we have been able to get away for is about eight days, and that was three years ago. The girls packed their bags a few days ago; they usually take half their wardrobes, but have finally got packing down to a fine art. Usually, the packing would go like this:
- what to wear if it is hot on Saturday
- what to wear if it is cold on Saturday
- what to wear if it is not too hot or too cold on Saturday
- what to wear if we have to change for dinner and it is hot
- what to wear if we have to change for dinner and it is cold
- what to wear if we have to change for dinner and it is neither too not nor too cold
Repeat for Sunday.
There are a whole lot more 'what ifs'. It is also important to note that what you planned to wear on Saturday cannot be worn on Sunday, even if it wasn't worn on Saturday.
I am trying to get through a load of marking so that I can go away without the shadow of unmarked work hanging over me. I am also trying to decide which book to take with me - one that I am rereading as I am teaching it or one that I feel I should read as it's a good book or one that I know I will enjoy.
