Having managed to (surruptiously) pack my little carry-on suitcase, I am now sitting in the naya with a cup of coffee mentally rechecking said suitcase. Boo is hovering close by...she senses something is afoot and is already upset at Kirsty's departure yesterday. Apart from the twittering of a few birds and the intermittent braying of a donkey somewhere in the distance, all is tranquility itself!
I am about to head for the airport, to fly to Scotland to meet up with Craig and to join the rest of my family to celebrate dad's 80th birthday.
I am hoping that the excitement of the next few days isn't too much for him......my sister and her family arrived from New Zealand yesterday, which he and mum were so looking forward to, so it is a real family occasion.
Craig is already there, and has reported that dad is better than he expected to find him, so that has put my mind at rest somewhat....our problem will be keeping him from trying to do too much!
I hear the not so gentle sound of snoring from my feet, and realise Boo has settled down and dozed off...time to gather the last few bits and pieces for my journey while she's not looking!

Oh I can so relate to packing with a dog that senses something "bad" is going on. Hope you enjoyed your time with the family and your Dad enjoyed his birthday.
