well I'm up...I woke up at 7.30am and I don't know how I managed it, with the heat, and the snoring and the massive amount of adrenalin in my stomach - but I got back to sleep until about 5 minutes ago. When I woke up again I knew I would never get to sleep again so I got up. I was surprised to find I was the only one in the house up! Although girl and boy twin are really tired - girl twin went to prom the night before last and had a party to go to last night - boy twin had a party on prom night (he didn't go to prom) and he apparently didn't sleep at all...literally.
I cant sleep because we are off to Egypt tomorrow...I am always like this when we go away - I have a mixture of nervousness and excitement. I get nervous thinking...will we remember everything?will we get the the airport okay? will the cats be okay and will the house sitters have any problems? will the cases weight too much? will the flight be okay? will we all die in a plane crash? providing we survive...will we get out cases back okay? will we get the hotel okay? will they be expecting us or claim we don't have a booking? will our rooms be okay? will be be close together in the hotel? If all that goes well, then I'll relax. But I still worry about whether it will be too hot? will we get ill? etc.. etc.. maybe I worry too much!
I do get excited as well...about having lots of fun and new experiences, about diving and snorkelling in the red sea and seeing the pyramids and having lots of fun and laughs with the twins and the OH etc..
Anyway...today is supposed to be the hottest day so far in the UK - it supposed to get to about 30 degrees, so we are having a BBQ and have invited the very kind people around who will be looking after my house and cats! So in a minute I am going to go and marinate some chicken and I also need to clean the WHOLE HOUSE! I always have to leave the house clean when I go away and even more so when other people will be staying here! I also have to make sure everybody is packed and all my camera's have chargers and their memory cards are clean etc..I am going to be taking 4 cameras with me! I know that sounds a bit mad - but I have my Canon camera - my big proper one, with the lens and stuff - I cant go to Egypt and not be prepared to take amazing pictures! Then I have my small canon camera - to take out if we go out in the evening and I just wanna take snaps and I don't want to lug about my big camera. Then I have my waterproof camera (to 3 metres) which we can mess with in the pool or snorkelling - and then I have my new camera which I can take diving as its waterproof up to 40 metres!! So with a bit of luck I'll have loads of brilliant pictures by the time I get back!
England are playing Germany in the world cup at 2pm too...so I dont really have that much time to get organised really - so why am I sat here writing this...?
Okay - I'd better go - hopefully - I'll keep you updated from Egypt!!!
