Ever noticed when you’re running out of time, that everything seems to go wrong? Printer is playing up, I have one A3 sized print left to do and I can’t reload the ink cartridges. I’ll fiddle about and keep my fingers crossed that tomorrow the printer won’t be temperamental. Very technical approach I know….

I have a list of chores about an arm-length long, including some specials to pick up such as a capillary mat from a garden-centre (I’ve no idea where to find one of them!) for our plants, a whole host of DEET products from sheets to spray to roll-on to ward off the dreaded mosquito’s in Kenya – they always love me, an antihistamine just in case and some Advanced Acidophilus Plus for good tummy bacteria. I know there are millions of other things I was supposed to get, but I can’t seem to find my list anywhere!

The house looks like a tornado has passed through and despite all my best intentions there doesn’t seem to be much chance of me being ready with plenty of time to spare.

I’ll just get back to it then, will I?
