Grand adventures

I appear to be mostly packed, and the ash cloud seems to be behaving itself. Be good, little ash cloud! I owe the weather gods a libation of hard liquour if I travel safely and without delays. One for going, and one for coming home.
I've lost one of my flipflops, and I apparently have half as many pairs of socks as I thought I did, half of them with significant holes. The things you learn!
In other news, the grandmother came around to visit today. She seems convinced I will be Eaten by Terrible Uncivilised Americans. Or, you know. Have other dreadful things happen to me and end up Deported In Handcuffs.
My grandmother, she does not always look on the brightside.
My mother is less convinced of the likelihood of being Eaten By Cannibals. On the other hand, she tells me if I fail to check in with her every day, she's getting on a plane herself to come track me down.
I'd be irritated by all this parental concern, except, well. It's remarkably warming to know that should anything happen to one, there will be a search party mounted. Loudly. Possibly with the brandishment of sticks.
Anyway. Tomorrow is set to be a fine, sunny day. There might even be swimming. So I must consider what books to take on the plane now, with care.
