We’re off to Spain and Ireland tomorrow evening, so lots of last-minute prepa­ra­tions tonight. I laid out my clothes on the spare bed on Sunday; Emma picked out hers this evening. I’ve just paid some bills and I’m trans­fer­ring files onto the netbook that I’m bringing.

I still have to whittle down the large pile of books that are under con­sid­er­a­tion. I don’t want to run out before we get to Ireland, but I don’t want to take too many. Depending on what else is going on, I’ll get through a book in a day or two when I’m on vacation. Maybe two books on those long plane flights.
