Pre dawn ...

First day of the school holidays and I managed to have my blip completed before the sun came up. Hopefully I never need to be so ambitious again.

My son has an army cadet camp and had to be on base at a ridiculously early time this morning. The forecast for 7 out of the next 8 days is for showers and cold weather. That should be a pleasant experience while sleeping under a piece of tarp and living on ration packs. To make it worse, I hadn't read the packing instructions properly and only later discovered the line that said 'take a packed lunch on the first day as you will not be fed until dinner time'.
