    Kids stuff all packed now, they were all quite helpful.

    I need something to eat and am wondering if a large glass of wine will make me worse or better?

    DS2 has been on washing up duty - there was loads - since accidently shooting DS3 in the eye with the Nerf.

    Did you see any of the sites MO477 or is it all just a drunken haze?

    Sounds like you spent most of your time in the old town, its nice there:D Haven't been to Dragonfly though i'm told the cocktails are nice - it used to be the old firestation. I have had several drunken nights in the 3 sisters;)
