Preparing For The Visit

Mum is in the country. Well she isn't exactly here yet, but she is on the west coast of the same country. And she will be here next Thursday. I've done 2 things in preparation for her visit. Well 3 really - I've gone out and bought (1) instant coffee (2) plum conserve (3) 2 new bath towels in lavender. Being a tea drinker mostly I don't have any coffee in the house. I normally don't eat jam, I prefer peanut butter. And I only have 2 bath towels (and about 17 face towels) for my own use. I'm still waiting for friends to pass me (1) a sleeping bag (2) a ground mat to insulate against the cold and hard surface of the floor (3) a down quilt. These had better come this coming week or else there will be 3 people (mum, aunt and I) sharing the double bed. It is not a pleasant thought.

I'm planning a slow and easy itinerary to show them the place. Lots of eating, drinking, sitting down in between some walking to take in the sights in a very leisurely fashion. That's the plan!
