Mel - I was wondering myself about that pesky parcel! She would have told me if she had it yet, so I guess later this week she'll get it. The farm should be fun in the heat - that place is just sitting in an area with no hills to shade the sun! Sounds like a nice day out, though. The forecast is for 33 degrees with a northerly, so very dry.
Bath - agreeing with Mel about Verity and her room. We made our own beds and tidied our own rooms and that was that. If we did it particularly well, we'd get 'stars' and depending on how many were accrued would determine the quality of the prize (once we both scored Cabbage Patch dolls! But we had to wait for ages to get those). It was just a given, as my mum last made our beds before I can even remember!
Had a nice lunch with GF today, was a good catch up. She's in another brigade and is preggers.
I think I'll go to the pool tomorrow. DP will be out of the area, so if I stick around then I may be of some sort of use at the fire station, if needed.
Rory, I'm going to look for you DH's post now...
